Wagile
Wagile (also styled WAGILE or WAgile) is a hybrid software development approach that combines waterfall's structured, upfront planning with agile's iterative approach.[1][2] It is also used in project management more generally.[3]
Other terms exist for waterfall/agile hybrids. Dave West in 2011 introduced water-scrum-fall,[4] which is sometimes called wagile.[5] Agifall is another hybrid between waterfall and agile that entails introducing more strategy and planning to an agile project.[6]
Wagile is often used when organisations are transitioning from a waterfall method to agile.[7] It is sometimes criticised as a failed attempt to introduce agile processes, like short iterations, to something that is basically following a waterfall model.[6][8]
