Modelo de interação ágil: uma adaptação do modelo cascata à organização de pequenas e médias empresas

Abstract

The cascade model is a sequential development methodology known as the traditional development model, and has long served the needs of controlling software projects. Over the years, there has been an increase in the complexity of systems, which has meant that the traditional model of development does not meet the new demands. This work proposes the adaptation of the Cascade model to include characteristics of agile development and management methodologies. From this adaptation it is expected that the development can be incremental, as well as facilitate the identification and correction of errors and / or failures during the development process. As an evaluation, the proposed model was applied to a case study in order to verify its effectiveness. A comparison was made a comparison of the cascade model with the proposed model, pointing out the main advantages and disadvantages of both models.
