Prototyping - The way to go for software development projects.

Prototyping is an alternative to the traditional method of software development. The project proceeds in a re-iterative cycle until a satisfactory result is reached. Prototype versions of the system are delivered from time to time. Feedback is obtained. Corrections and changes are made to bring the system into line with your requirements, and the new version issued.

Here's a comparison for you to consider:
