    Waterfall DOES NOT WORK!. Both data and Winston Royce is crystal clear on that. There is no system, no man nor machine which does not change. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is ... suboptimal. Watching and entire industry doing it and failing is retarded.

      I think it really depends upon the scope/scale of the project and the timeline involved. Are skyscrapers built with out a detailed plan and engineering? You don't change a 5 story building into a 25 story building. But you can change the finishing inside the building without significant impact to the overall structure. I agree that waterfall lends it self to some industries where as agile approach lend themselves to other industries. It all comes down to the how well requirements are known and the amount of change that may happen from conception to delivery. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

      ​@@projerrainc.6152 No, it doesn't. Putting up a skyscraper involves a lot more engineering than you might think and changes are constant during the process. The only difference between software and a skyscraper is the distribution (production) cost and the cost of failure. There is no industry where waterfall works.

    Hello Mam What about six Sigma or lean approach. Are these approach also agile or they fall into different class

    • @Projerra
      @Projerra Рік тому

      Lean may be considered an agile approach.... on the other hand, in my experience, six sigma is about operations and ensuring that the corporate production approach creates output that falls within the defined limit and six sigma projects are aimed at improving the cosistency and reliability of a business process so that it reduces variation and increases consistency. In order words... six sigma is the motivation or driver for a project, and is an approach that may be used to measure project outcomes but is not a method for delivering project results.

      @@nasrullahturke4480 excellent questions... To me, lean is a mindset... do only what is necessary, as much as is necessary, and nothing more. The challenge comes in that different people and different approached think different steps/artefacts/meetings/processes are important or meaningless. You and your colleagues need to discuss what is important. As a six sigma practitioner, you can add value to any project. IMO, your roles is similar to a quality assurance practitioner. You monitor to ensure that processes are followed, that artefacts are created, that metrics are collected, etc.... you study the metrics to see if the process is followed and you make recommendations for improvement in consistency. For example, if the SAFe processes says that person 1,2, & 3 are involved in decisions of type T, you look for evidence that it is happening and report that X/Y decisions involved all three people. If the process says that a program increment should have N iterations, report on how often it had more or less than the agreed upon iterations and if there was a justification... It's may sound a little contradictory but all approaches are about finding efficiencies in the work place. Six Sigma believes in efficiency through consistency... Lean is about efficiency through minimalization and agile is efficiency through adaption. Hope that helps

      It's never to late to make a career shift... In fact, I believe your experience as a teacher makes you a particularly good candidate. You have the ability to explain concepts simply/clearly, and you are well organized. Switching careers is never easy, and if you perceive it as pivot, rather than a leap, you'll do better. You will need some training (perhaps online, perhaps from a local college). And yes, I do recommend certifications. It proves/demonstrates your capability, and that you have a certain standard of education. Good luck.
