Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects: A Hybrid Approach With the growing interest in Agile approaches, how can we take a measured approach? Organizations can't just simply drop everything to become 100% Agile. Not only are hybrid approaches acceptable, they are common in transitioning organizations. We need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both the traditional and Agile methods to find the best combination that gives us the best of both worlds. This presentation will cover how to combine both approaches into a hybrid model, and help you understand the general criteria of how one approach would be chosen over another.Learning Objectives This presentation will cover how to combine both approaches into a hybrid model, and help you understand the general criteria of how one approach would be chosen over another. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU.

This program provides an overview of Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile methods and illustrates how each should be applied and integrated into the journey of an idea all the way to business value realization. Developing an innovative idea into a stage of business value realization is a long and tedious journey; it involves different types of thinking and working at different stages of the life of the idea. Broadly speaking, this journey can be classified into 3 stages: deep understanding of user needs and innovating solutions; experimenting with a solution concept through prototyping and validating; and implementing the solution prototype into a commercial solution. Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile methods fit perfectly into these 3 stages. This program provides an overview of each of these methods and illustrates how each should be applied and integrated into the journey of an idea all the way to business value realization.
