In waterfall methodology, the business stakeholders are not actively involved throughout the software development process, almost as if they’re lost in space. They have to wait for months before they see any results or even know if the software development droids are creating the features and functionality that the users want. Agile development takes that ambiguity away and provides clarity, active participation of key stakeholders, and most importantly all stakeholders are able to see the results every two weeks.
