Abstract : In the software development, the most challenging task is to develop projects under the pressure of dynamic market, where Time To Market (TTM) and requirements instability could fail the development process. Therefore project management should choose the development methodology that can control the problems associated with the dynamic market. Agile team argue that planned methodologies are heavy to cope with the rapid changes of the dynamic market, because the planned methodologies strongly emphasize on the planning process , by incorporating a lot of detailed design techniques like UML. On the other hand agile team claim that agile is the marvelous approach that has solutions for all problems related to the dynamic market, because agile achieves higher flexibility, and better to satisfy actual customer requirements. Agile achieves this, by developing and delivering the software product in an incremental fashion. Agile methodologies try to avoid any development overheads, and minimize unnecessary effort. This paper presents a comparative study that compares between planned methodologies - which have coupling relationship with UML analysis and design techniques – and the agile methodologies. The comparison compares between the two approaches in many respects, such as analysis, design, human resources, cost of the changes of the requirements and communication. The comparison shows how the lightness of the agile methodologies gives better responses to the different problems related to the dynamic market. Also the study shows that agile minimizes the cost of the changes of requirements during the development process.
