Agile is gathering momentum but its not easy to switch to Agile especially in complex environments like banking or multinationals. Many companies can’t refuse Waterfall but understand the value of Agile and want to start applying it. How to combine Waterfall and Agile in one project, do it effectively and get value? In every standard Waterfall phase from initiation till closure Agile is able to help Project manager, team and stakeholders be more effective, adaptive, meet end user expectations better and have a fun. There are cases from CISCO Systems, NASA, US health care program to learn from.
I want to demonstrate that it is possible and often necessary to combine both Waterfall and Agile in one project. We will review challenges of big complex environments that have absorbed Waterfall and have strict procedures and guidelines but are willing to gradually move to Agile.
Our latest webinar "Software Development with Agile Waterfall Hybrid Method" presents you the pros and cons of both methodologies, Agile and Waterfall.
Watch our webinar to learn more about what kind of projects the Hybrid model works for best, and how exactly you can implement a Hybrid approch in software development and benefit from the advanced features of codeBeamer ALM software.

Agile and Waterfall are two distinct methods of project management.
The Waterfall model can essentially be described as a linear model of project development. Like its name suggests, waterfall employs a sequential process. Development flows sequentially from start point to end point, with several different stages: Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Implementation, and Maintenance.
In contrast, the Agile method proposes an incremental and iterative approach to project development. It was essentially developed in response to the limitations of Waterfall, as a way to give more freedom. The process is broken into individual models that team work on. There is no pre-determined course of action or plan with the Agile method. Rather, team-mates are free to respond to changes in requirements as they arise and make changes as the project progresses. Agile is a pretty new player to the development management. However, it has made substantial gains in use and popularity in the last couple of years.

Agifall - Combining Waterfall and Agile Development Process for Digital and S...Mark Fromson
We all know waterfall has generally fallen out of favour and agile is the new process wunderkind. However, is pure agile really appropriate, or even possible, for the majority of our current digital projects? If the technical team is driving the agile development process from the start, just how and when do we integrate the user experience and creative contribution into the project lifecycle? Does agile really mean development first with no upfront design or specification, or, is there a better way to make agile development more effective when it begins? Certainly agile can be problematic for client projects when the statement of work contract is king for establishing project scope ahead of time. So how do we successfully integrate the benefits of agile into client-vendor engagements without putting either party at risk? This presentation topic is on how to effectively combine the best of waterfall and agile into a hybrid process model called “Agifall.” No process is perfect, but Agifall just might be the one that works best for your next project.
The first part of this presentation is a situational assessment of typical challenges in IT project delivery using the SCRAP (Situation, Complication, Resolution, Action, Proof) model. This is essentially a business case for Agile. So if you are looking for ways to get buy-in for Agile, this is the place to be.
The second part of this presentation shows you what Agile is from 50,000 ft. From this high up, we'll be covering the essential elements from a business and management perspective. We'll cover what Agile is, what it does, how it works and what it achieves.
If you are interested in learning or communicating the value of Agile, then this is the presentation for you!

Learn the basics of the agile way-of-life that has helped many companies realize their potential in the market. The agile secret sauce was once a thing that was only enjoyed by software organizations on the East and West coasts, but is now invading Indianapolis -- increasing productivity, making teams empowered (and happier!), and helping managers focus less on the taskmaster role and more on the important stuff.

Waterfall Model Technique, also known as the Liner Sequential Life Cycle Model. Waterfall Model followed in sequential order, so the project management team can only proceed to the next level of development or research after the previous phase has been successfully accomplished.
Adopting a hybrid, user-centric project methodology such as Agifall can reap fantastic rewards, if implemented in the correct setting. Be sure to contact us at Newpath Web if you would like further information or to discuss any of your project management needs.
Agile approaches continue to increase in popularity in the world of project management. A range of popular Agile methods have been employed to varying degrees by organizations to support their project management practices.
But few of them offer a complete project management solution (e.g. covering the full project lifecycle, roles & responsibilities, etc).
AgilePM guidance – published by the Agile Business Consortium – offers a complete framework for agile project management, achieving an ideal balance between the standards, rigour and visibility required for good project management, and the fast-pace, change and empowerment provided by agile.
And it’s proving very popular. Since it’s introduction in 2010, over 80,000 AgilePM exams have been sat globally, making it the leading guidance and certification for agile project management.
During this webinar, Antony Perrett (lead AgilePM instructor for Learning Tree International) will delve into the guidance, outlining the key features that make it a complete framework for successful agile projects.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Need to gain credibility;
ISO and TL 9000 certifications;
Perception: “Agile if for dirty and quick work”.
Maksym DOVGOPOLYI, Applying Both Agile & Waterfall in One Project, Geneva, 2013
4. Agile in Cisco Systems
Decisions
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Work directly with the business units (customers) to figure out what they
need;
Regular demonstration of products to the project stakeholders;
Welcome changes and quick respond to the customer during the release;
Use scrum;
Bet on testing and prototyping;
Adapt and improve internal processes;
Interaction with Waterfall/
Results
●
●
●
●

Agile team grown from 6 to 26 people in 2 years;
Cisco passed an ISO-9000 audit;
Cisco now officially supports both Agile and Waterfall and has processes
for both methodologies.
Maksym DOVGOPOLYI, Applying Both Agile & Waterfall in One Project, Geneva, 2013
5. When to Use Agile and Waterfall
Waterfall
Agile
● Requirements are very well
known;
● Product definition is stable;
● Technology is understood;
● New version of an existing
product;
● Integration an existing product
to the new platform;
● Project is large, expensive,
complicated.
● Business objectives are well
defined;
● Functionality of the system is
clearly visible;
● End-users are involved;
● Team is stable and skilled;
● Input data for the project
already exists (JIT);
● Tech requirements are
reasonable and well within the
capabilities of the technology
being used;
● System can be modularized.
Maksym DOVGOPOLYI, Applying Both Agile & Waterfall in One Project, Geneva, 2013
6. Why apply Agile in Waterfall Project?
Avoid weaknesses of Waterfall approach and bring
strength of Agile approach:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Better control of budget and schedule;
Improve quality of the delivered product;
Better Risk Management;
Speed-up;
Provide more opportunities for customers;
Quick responding to changes.
Also, Agile is best suited to projects where the problem
is complex and may not be fully understood at the
beginning of the project.
Maksym DOVGOPOLYI, Applying Both Agile & Waterfall in One Project, Geneva, 2013
7. The main challenges in applying
Agile in Waterfall project are to define
where exactly in the project to do
that and how deep.
And Make it timely.
Maksym DOVGOPOLYI, Applying Both Agile & Waterfall in One Project, Geneva, 2013
8. Bad Tetris
Your project has to be holistic structure where all processes, tools
and resources are at the right place.
Maksym DOVGOPOLYI, Applying Both Agile & Waterfall in One Project, Geneva, 2013
9. Even The most “Agile project” refers to the traditional project
management principles
and
The most ster “Waterfall project” could be Agile
Maksym DOVGOPOLYI, Applying Both Agile & Waterfall in One Project, Geneva, 2013
10. How to implement Agile?
What is Important for Your Project?
● Scope?
● Schedule?
● Budget?
If Schedule or Budget:
● You need to set up clear limits on the amount of project
budget and project schedule;
● You need to communicate clear and often about all
updates and changes.
Maksym DOVGOPOLYI, Applying Both Agile & Waterfall in One Project, Geneva, 2013
11. If Scope:
Be clear with management what is in the project backlog versus
what is in the product backlog
Product Backlog
Feature
Journey
Project Backlog
Release Backlog
Release Backlog

Sprints must be timeboxed to 4
weeks or less;
Features are tested and working by
the end the Sprint;
The Sprint starts with an Agile spec;
You know who the product owner is;
There is a product backlog
prioritized by business value;
The product backlog has estimates
created by the team;
The team generates burndown
charts and knows their velocity;
There are no project managers (or
anyone else) disrupting the work of
the team;

21. Agile in NASA
In 2008 NASA decided to revise the processes for R&D and engineers who are
involved in it. For NASA it means to combine traditional approach with creativity,
flexibility and adaptivity.
●
●
NASA revised requirements for new hiring engineers:
○ proactivity
○ communication skills
○ problem solving skills
○ leadership
New training programme to develop necessary skills
New rules for engineering teams to develop creativity and open
climate:
1. Status means nothing in taking decisions;
2. Certainty is a main argument in taking decisions
3. Autonomy for engineering teams. From outside come just functional
requirements, budget and time.
4. Relatedness is important in relationship between team-mates.
5. Fairness is important in judgments and taking decisions.

22. Lean Project Management
Evaluate the flow of work to identify opportunities for
improvement:
● Reduce “Non-Value Add” activities and increase
“Customer Value Add” activities
● Improve Project by agile techniques

23. Failure in Applying Agile
Agile, like any other framework or process is not bad, only people who
made decision to apply and didn't learned carefully the project
environment.

The Signed "Waterfall" Contract;
Wrong people in the right roles;
Cultural clash;
Team doesn't support changes;
Product owner wasn’t defined or not available;
Project environment doesn't support Agile approach;
Weak understanding of Agile principles and tools;
Unexperienced Project manager and team;
and etc.
