Adhering to AGILE, Waterfall and WAGILE project management approaches such as Prince 2 and AGILE (Kanban/Scrum/SAFe):
-
Example 1: AGILE (generic) – “Plan, Design, Launch”:
-
"Plan" what needs to be done.

"Design" carry out Review, Deploy, Test, Develop etc.
-
"Launch" the new function, feature, solution etc.
-
-
Example 2: Waterfall - “Pre-Initiation; Initiation; Design; Develop, Delivery, Continual Service Improvement (CSI).”
-
"Pre-Initiation" develop and sign-off the Business Case.
-
"Initiation" develop and sign-off the Project Initiation Document (PID).
-
"Design" the function, feature, solution etc (reflecting signed-off requirements).
-
"Develop"" the function, feature, solution etc (including the test plan and test script).
-
"Deliver" the function, feature, solution etc.(rollout "big-bang" vs "incremental").
-
"CSI" regular review of outcomes and make incremental improvements to improve Customer Experience (CX) / User Experience (UX).
-
-
Example 3: WAGILE - “Discover, Decide, Deliver”:
-
"Discover" via “deep dives” the “Pain Points”, “Needs” and “Requirements” and then draft “Recommendations”.
-
"Decide" against “recommendations” what outcomes to deliver.
-
"Deliver" what has been agreed required via the right approach (Waterfall/AGILE)
