Why is Scrum better than Waterfall?
Why is Scrum better than Waterfall? Scrum allows teams to adjust to changes in the project during development quickly. Instead of following a strict order like waterfall, scrum uses short work periods called sprints. These sprints usually last two weeks and involve planning, designing, building, and testing the software to give users a working product.
Can one do waterfall and still be Agile?
The point I was trying to make is that, Agile and a Waterfall process are not opposites of each other. You can use a supposedly waterfall process, and still have some measure of agility. On top of this, “Agile” is not a binary, yes/no condition. Your organisation as a whole (not just IT) can only be more or less Agile.
When should you use waterfall instead of Scrum?
When to use Waterfall instead of Scrum
- Well-defined user stories and feature requirements.
- Development teams larger than 10 people.
- An established DevOps stack and developers who are experienced with it.
- Only minor changes implemented once development has started.
