Our latest webinar "Software Development with Agile Waterfall Hybrid Method" presents you the pros and cons of both methodologies, Agile and Waterfall. Watch our webinar to learn more about what kind of projects the Hybrid model works for best, and how exactly you can implement a Hybrid approch in software development and benefit from the advanced features of codeBeamer ALM software.

5. The Agile/Waterfall Hybrid Model is a software development approach combining two methodologies.
Agile-Waterfall Hybrid

6. Agile
Is ideal for new technology- based developments (eg. mobile / web apps)
OR
Quick product development
Waterfall
Is ideal for development based on proven technology
OR
Mission / safety critical systems based on standards

7. The Agile/Waterfall Hybrid Model is a good fit for:
•Product development teams: Hardware (Waterfall) and Software (Agile).
•Software product development: Planning/Design/Requirements (Waterfall), Development and Testing (Agile)
•Software (n-tier) application development: Frontend -GUI (Agile/Scrum) and Backend (Waterfall).
Use cases – Agile-Waterfall Hybrid

8. Limitations vs Advantages
Business
Technology
Cultural
Agile
limitations
No explicit budget and timerframe
Less documentation, not easy to comply with technical standards
Need training and Scrum Master
Agile Advantages
Quick delivery, early customer feedback
Shorten the development lifecycle
Small teams, easier motivation
Waterfall Limitations
More difficult to manage change requests
Slow results of delivery, hard to change
Less collaboration
Waterfall Advantages
Fixed timeframe and budget
Comply with standards
Regulated

9. Hybrid in Practice
•Product Planning –System Architecture Design – System Requirements with Waterfall
•Development and Testing with Agile-Scrum (Sprints)
•Comply with regulated processes and standards
•Needs closer cooperation of both types of teams

10. Hybrid Release Train

11. Benefits of the Hybrid Model
•Reduced time for design, analysis and planning
•Accelerates development –short iterations
•More customer feedback, flexibility for changes
•Quick turnaround, with continual product releases
•Keep deadlines and budget (external customers)
•Meet audit and regulations requirements

12. Hybrid Challenges
•Cultural differences: working with Waterfall teams means more documentation, less cooperation. With Agile teams, it's the opposite: less documentation and more cooperation (daily stand up/retrospective).
•Technical challenges
•Dependency tracking, overseeing complex structures/hierarchies
•Merging both approaches in the release(s)
