There are many approaches to organizing projects. Three of the most common are:

Agile / SCRUM

Agile is an iterative and collaborative approach to project management and software development. It breaks projects into smaller, manageable tasks and shorter time segments called sprints. Agile emphasizes flexibility, continuous improvement, and customer collaboration. Teams reflect and adjust their strategies after each sprint to improve the process for the next one. This methodology is particularly useful for projects where requirements and solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of cross-functional teams.

Waterfall

Waterfall is a linear and sequential approach to project management. It involves completing each project phase before moving on to the next. The five distinct phases of Waterfall are requirements, design, implementation, verification, and maintenance. This methodology is rigid and relies heavily on thorough planning and documentation before the project begins. It is best suited for projects with well-defined requirements and where changes are minimal during the development process

Hybrid ("Wagile")

Hybrid methodology combines elements of both Agile and Waterfall approaches to create a tailored process that fits the specific needs of a project. It uses Waterfall for high-level planning, defining phases, deadlines, and deliverables, while Agile is employed for execution, breaking tasks into sprints and prioritizing backlogs. This approach enhances project efficiency and adaptability, making it suitable for projects that require both predictability and flexibility.
