Low effectiveness of the software systems development and enhancement projects, leading to the substantial financial losses, is one of the fundamental reasons why for a few dozens of years the software engineering has been in search of adequate approaches to the execution of the project life cycle. The formation of various software systems construction models was aimed to be one of the methods to reduce this negative phenomenon. After more than 15 years of complex and systematic research into this phenomenon, during which such models were commonly employed, it is worth asking a question whether software systems construction models in fact contribute to increasing the effectiveness of software systems development and enhancement projects execution. If they do, then in what way and for what reasons? Which models are more effective: classic or agile? This paper aims at answering those questions. (original abstract)
