Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Projects are unique by nature, and organizations each have their own specific needs when it comes to managing systems projects. In addition, there is never a superior SDLC methodology, but rather SDLCs that will fit certain projects better than others.

Compare and contrast Agile and waterfall SDLCs. Based on your personal and work experiences, why might an organization opt to choose one SDLC over another? Can an organization make use of both types of SDLCs, and why? Reference a project you have personally worked on (at home or at work) and integrate that experience into your response.
