Comparing and Contrasting the SDPM Models

The two models are the same in that both the goal and solution are clearly defined and documented. That is the entry criteria for using these two models. If you know ahead of time that these criteria will be compromised, you have better choices for strategies. Software development projects for the consumer would be examples where change might be inevitable as a result of changing market conditions over which we have no control. Software development projects for internal consumption and where no external factors are operative are good candidates for both models. You might choose one of the two models over the other solely because of deadlines. The more aggressive the deadline, the more likely you would opt for the Linear SDPM strategy for the Rapid Development model. The scarcer the resources, the more likely you would opt for the Linear SDPM strategy for the Standard Waterfall model.
