Hi,

Agile has been the preferred way of software development in recent years. The iterative and short ‘sprint’ focused approach helps to reduce rework and get to an MVP in a much faster time.

FYI - strategy consulting firms are also now adopting (or trying to adopt) this way of working on their own projects.

Hi Alex,

Waterfall has been implemented since the 70's and is powerfull and very resilient (large projects, large # of stakeholders, traditional V cycle)

Agile has been more popular in the last 5 years as easier to implement and more reactive (ideal for start-ups, SMEs) and nowdays starts to be the most implemented one even in large PMOs.

The most combination so far is Agile with SCRUM methodologies.

Up to you to design a case with a MECE decision tree on this question ;-)
