For over a decade we have been told that ‘Waterfall’ is a clunky, dated approach that is not focused on value while ‘Agile’ is the solution to everybody’s problems. This has left organisations struggling with how to reconcile these two, seemingly opposite, ways of working and how to stay relevant in predominantly Agile environments.

In this talk, Ray will be uncovering the origin of this bimodal thinking and examining how well it reflects the reality of transformational work in the 21st century.  He’ll show that ‘Agile’ & ‘Waterfall’ are misleading terms, and that transformational work adapts to a scale of agility.

Ray will be drawing on his experience of working with traditional, agile and hybrid environments to look at some of the challenges and implications of organisations moving to a multimodal model. He will also then look at some practical suggestions organisations and PMOs can take to ‘right-size’ their governance and ensure the right approach for the right project.
