WATERFALL VS. AGILE: LA GRANDE IDIOZIA !!!

If you've also witnessed (or fueled) the longest bar fight in the history of project management... this video is for you. For 25 years, the business and consulting world has been divided into two factions: good Agile vs. bad Waterfall, iterative vs. sequential, innovation and modernity vs. "dummies." Too bad it's (almost always) a gigantic simplification and trivialization. In this "fundamental" video on the channel, I dismantle the most overused dichotomy in Project Management and introduce you to a metaphor that always works (the journey) to truly clarify: 1) What are project phases (and why they have nothing to do with propaganda) 2) The real difference between predictive and adaptive approaches (spoiler: this is where it all comes down to it) 3) Why Scrum is also sequential (yes, you read that right) 4) What Waterfall (Royce 1970) really means and what it doesn't mean 5) How to read Agile and Waterfall as use cases of something more general: different ways of distributing implementation activities within the phases of a project 6) And why the right answer is always: it depends on the context (not on the methodological religion). 📌 Question for you: How many times have you seen "Agile" used as a magic formula just to avoid planning or to appear innovative?
