| Jun 7, 2013 at 13:50 | comment | added | CliffC | @WalterA.Aprile The problem was for method 1 we are doing big design upfront but in step 4 and 5 we do have things like product catalog and sprint(Which we assume we are doing scrum?). We just not sure if this is the right way to go to scrum, seems to me we still can't shake off that big upfront design practice in waterfall In fact 1 of my colleague even suggest to take some part of SCRUM and customise it to fit to our way of doing things which i think is not the right way. | |

Aprile | you seem to be answering your own question: agile methods were invented precisely because it is very hard to do a requirement spec right, and it is also very hard to get a client to understand it - they will sign it off based on their own interpretation. Then you show up with your software and it is not what they wanted. The agile approach forces the client to engage with you, your understanding of them and your software as early as possible. So, you are basically saying yes, we should use agile. What is blocking you? | |

Rewording the question to help clarify the key points and focus it to a constructive question with a clear answer.
