That appears to have been left to a 1976 paper (see below), but the images in his paper were certainly christened that by those who read it. His words seem, at first sight, quite damming. Not to mention, we&#8217;ve all been there: cost overruns, delivery not matching requirements, etc. When it happens, it&#8217;s not pretty. The problem is that there are so many moving parts, external dependencies, and understandable lack of clarity over what the sponsor really wants at the beginning of so many projects that such overruns are to be expected when using Waterfall. But, there is a class of project to which Waterfall is superbly well suited. When you know the desired outcomes and the desired dependencies, Waterfall turns out to be a great methodology. Hang on&#8230; What did I say about problems? Oh yes, Tame problems fit that bill quite nicely. So, got a Tame problem?

Indeed, with the whole Fail Fast approach that Agile encourages, it is an excellent methodology for solving Wicked Problems.

This is because it&#8217;s very difficult to pin down exactly what you want at the beginning (incidentally why Waterfall projects looking to solve Wicked Problems are so often mired in large numbers of Change Requests). The stopping condition is usually not known (which is why WF projects tends to come in releases \/ phases \/ drops \/ etc.). Product evolution occurs over the product&#8217;s lifecycle.

So you&#8217;ve selected Agile, now how do you ensure you get it right, especially when your team are well versed in Waterfall or have only tangentially encountered Agile. Let&#8217;s start with some common mistakes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Just give people a Kanban board, a tool like Jira. If they use that they&#8217;ll be doing Agile.<\/li>\n<li>Take a Project Manager and call them, instead, a SCRUM Master.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These are the second and third most frequent mistakes firms make. Can you guess the first? Worry not, I shan&#8217;t keep you guessing, it is (ta dah!): <b>Lack of training.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Lack of training is a great mistake because it doesn&#8217;t actually require that much upfront investment to get team members to a proficient standard to enable them to make valuable contributions. It can be done in as little as a week per person when done properly. That&#8217;s not to say that your team will be experts at the end of that time, but they&#8217;ll be making informed and valuable contributions.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that when people aren&#8217;t trained, they make mistakes which are often costly. These include, using multiple Kanaban boards to represent items in a project (duplication of effort); thinking that Kanban board columns are fixed, thereby constraining workflow capabilities; assuming that a SCRUM master is just another name for a Project Manager; believing that Sprints are not important units of work, often instead referring to sprints as subcomponents of releases; and forgetting that change is not about an orderly list of activities, but, importantly, also requires a large amount of the C word (all is revealed in the sixth of five episodes)<\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple more mistakes:<\/p><p><ol><li><b>Believing that Scaled Agile (of which a number of versions exist) means creating a standardised Agile model that must be inflexibly imposed on the organisation<\/b>. In effect, all this is is Waterfall rebadged, often by large consultancies whose incentive model is based on selling firms large numbers of resource. We&#8217;ll discuss poor incentives elsewhere in a later article.<\/li><li><b>Managers \/ primary stakeholders not attending demos \/ show and tell meetings.<\/b> This is common but it means that managers and stakeholders don&#8217;t get to see the progress. This, in turn, leads to a lack of confidence in the process, especially if, several iterations down the line, the stakeholder wants to change something that was delivered a while back; a lack that need not exist.<\/li><\/ol><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-449f2d6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"449f2d6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-64c2ed9\" data-id=\"64c2ed9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc4b87f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dc4b87f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">We're risk averse - Agile's Too New<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-70fca59 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"70fca59\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54f2aff\" data-id=\"54f2aff\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85b4994 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"85b4994\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Many believe that Agile is fairly new. After all,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/agilemanifesto.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Agile Manifesto<\/a>&nbsp;only popped into existence back in 2001. This is true, but what Agile is is a collective noun for a host of different methodologies that can be traced right back to the 1940s,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ukdiss.com\/examples\/kanban-system-applications.php\" target=\"_blank\">when Spitfires were built using the Two-Bin system<\/a>. Components were placed into two bins for workers to assemble. When one became empty that was the signal to refill it, thus ensuing no interruption to the flow of work. It was then taken up by Toyota in the late 1940s and eventually grew to become the system we know today. Many other aspects of Agile were well established by 2001. For example, Small Self-Managed Teams. Richard Pascale, in his book&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/859568.Managing_on_the_Edge\" target=\"_blank\">Managing On the Edge: How Successful Companies Use Conflict to Stay Ahead<\/a>, originally published in 1990 and revised many times since, has documented many of these (you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/storypositive.com\/pascale-semi-reloaded\/\" target=\"_blank\">read more here<\/a>, including a limited update since 2001).
