What is the better methodology between Agile, Hybrid & Waterfall to manage a project nowadays, well the answer depends on the project? Agile, Hybrid and Waterfall all have their place in today’s modern projects but all too many people want to use Agile for every project even when the methodology does not fit. You only need to read the Agile Manifesto to understand that Agile works best on certain projects, this does not include infrastructure projects where the benefits and deliverable s are often not realized until sometime into the future. A Hybrid methodology is more commonly suitable these days as there are often short-term benefits that can be gained in many projects. In today’s IT infrastructure and construction projects you would not start the build until the detail design has been completed and lengthy lead times mean quick delivery is rarely achievable. The methodology needs to suit the project type and complexity a one size fits all is no longer sustainable, each methodology has its place to deliver the right outcome.
