Software development methodologies play a significant role in determining the success of a project. This paper compares three widely adopted approaches: Agile, Waterfall, and Hybrid methodologies, in terms of their impact on software project success. Agile focuses on flexibility and iterative development, Waterfall follows a linear, sequential approach, while Hybrid integrates elements of both Agile and Waterfall. This research explores how each methodology addresses project requirements, timelines, risks, and client satisfaction, ultimately determining which approach is most suitable for different types of software projects.
