 Waterfall
Sreenatha Reddy  |  Argues in support of  "Agile "  |  1 year ago
It's better to use Agile than Waterfall Model.
Mihir Jhaveri, PMP, CSCM  |  Argues in support of  "Waterfall"  |  3 years ago
While there are likely as many unique Project Management approaches as there are Project Managers, there are two well-know production cycle methodologies that have been the topic of much discussion in PM circles - agile and waterfall...
Adrian Hoe  |  Argues in support of  "Waterfall"  |  3 years ago
I have been using Waterfall model for 90% of my projects. The result is, I spend less time in coding (about 11% of total project time in coding). If the software is large, has long life-cycle, requirements do not change often; Waterfall is a...

Agile and Waterfall are models not strategies..! so models and methodologies can always be formulated as per the need... I agree with Arup.. both the models can be combined to call advanced agile or distributed agile..! But if we talk about the...

Agile wants team members sharing space and pairing and tacitly sharing what's going on. It aims for ongoing OODA/PDCA type loops to inspect and adapt for improvements. It very deliberately values people over tech or rules (per the manifesto).  ...
Rajdeep Rathod  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  3 years ago
Hi friends, I should say with Agile software development methodologies, people are experiencing improvements in both process and product. But like most things in life, there is a yin and yang. Still there are some critical challenges for Agile...
Tathagat Varma  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  3 years ago
If you read my article, I have taken the position that adoption of Agile practices indeed addressed most of the team dysfunctions as identified by Patrick Lencioni. Of course, there are many most team dysfunctions that Patrick might not have...

1 Ease your way into the practice
2 Finding the right customer
Ranvijay Singh  |  Supported idea  "De-centralization of management can help a team transition to Agile Frameworks"  |  1 year ago
The concept of de-centralization has sustained so far and has proven to be effective in almost everything. Consider the Panchayati Raj in our country.
Prad Roy  |  Added idea  "De-centralization of management can help a team transition to Agile Frameworks"  |  1 year ago
It's no more a new thing on the edge. The more you de-centralize the more agile you become. Accountability moves to the lowest level of hierarchy, making it look like a flat hierarchy. It works...believe me...

Vinay Kumar  |  Answered  |  2 years ago
Hi Pankaj, I think management and techinical ability does not gel together well. A guy managing a project will always think about delivery of a project in time, costs, time sheet etc..etc. But a technical guy will think in an entirely different...

1 SPRINTS: Develop it to be buildable and shippable
2 Active participation of stakeholders
Anoop Dhopte  |  Supported idea  "SPRINTS: Develop it to be buildable and shippable"  |  1 year ago
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Prad Roy  |  Added idea  "SPRINTS: Develop it to be buildable and shippable"  |  1 year ago
One of the biggest schedule risks in software is the hidden time between "we're done" and "we've shipped". Teams often spend weeks or months after the end of schedule to make their product buildable and shippable. Releasing a usable demo at the...
Ranvijay Singh  |  Supported idea  "SPRINTS: Develop it to be buildable and shippable"  |  1 year ago
That's the essence of being agile. It should be concrete at the end of every iteration which you call SPRINT.

Kiran Kumar Reddy  |  Answered  |  3 years ago
Agile seems to me to be best suited for environments in which the budget is fixed on an annual basis, where the team sizes are fixed on an annual basis due to the budget constraints, and the project staff's mission which is to deliver the most...
