Questions about the Agile & Waterfall poster

What’s on the Agile & Waterfall poster?

Waterfall against Agile, side by side. Waterfall: Sequential phases, each signed off; Waterfall: Requirements fixed early; Waterfall: Detailed plan up front; Waterfall: Change is expensive; Waterfall: Suits stable, regulated, physical work; Agile: Short iterations, working output each time; Agile: Requirements evolve; Agile: Plan adapts; Agile: Change is expected; Agile: Suits uncertain, software, discovery work; Neither is universally better. The question is whether you can know the requirements…. Building a bridge suits waterfall; building a product nobody has specified suits agile. Applying either to the other fails.

Who is the Agile & Waterfall poster for?

Agile & Waterfall belongs to the Business & Management section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning operations can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Agile & Waterfall poster?

Waterfall assumes requirements are knowable up front. Agile assumes they are not. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Agile & Waterfall belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
