Implementing agile development in a waterfall project
An application development team on a large project wanted to move to
agile development, even though the overall project very much followed a
waterfall model. Although there had been discussions to move the entire
project to an agile model, the developers decided to use agile development for
their piece of the project and fit it within the overall waterfall structure.
As a result, the team observed increased quality, improved milestone
deliverables, and better development efficiencies. This success enabled them
to champion the agile idea across the project, involve more and more
stakeholders, and gain support to eventually make all participating teams
agile believers.
