Lately, while advising we’ve been asked by quite a few clients “Should we be using a Waterfall or Agile approach to managing our projects?”. The first few times this this question was asked, I “took the bait” and began to explain how each discipline fits a particular type of industry, project and/or team.

We have a process framework at Pandoblox that dives deep into the company’s business to understand their operations and objectives before recommending an approach to technology. Through this process, we quickly began to realize, it wasn’t a question of mismatched methodology at the root of their problem. It was the siloed teams allowed to develop over time at the root of their problem.
