Many technology executives believe that combining waterfall and Agile methods offers the advantages of both. In reality, this mixed approach often leads to diluted processes and delivers weaker outcomes than either framework on its own.

Waterfall and Agile are among the most commonly used methodologies in modern engineering teams. The key challenge is determining which approach aligns best with your organisation’s objectives, culture, and operational structure. Even more complex is successfully guiding teams through the shift from a traditional waterfall model to a truly Agile way of working.

Whether your organisation continues with waterfall or fully commits to Agile, one conclusion is consistent: a so-called “Wagile” approach rarely produces meaningful results.
