In detail, Agile models are ideal for small work teams due to their informal management. Despite this, agile has been implemented in enterprises with high sucessful ratios. Moreover, agile is totally adaptable to changes and customers feedback due to the division of the product development in different and short-time sprints. In each sprint, we create a functional prototypes that passess the corresponding test. This functional prototypes accomplish several products functionalities that at the end of the sprint are validated by the client. So, the customer involvement is a huge benefit for creating a product.

The constant implication of the clients could be a constraint in terms of defining the final scope of the product (the clients always wants more). This limitation in the scope also is aligned with a limitation in the budget (the clients wannt lot of functionalities at lower prices). Finally, when implementing agile models, we need to take care of teh documentation. In agile there is not so much documentation but we need to elaborate strictly needed documentation for product understanding (specifications).
