How to Use Jira for Waterfall and Hybrid Projects (White Paper Extract)

Two big circles, one with waterfall project management in, the other with agile project management in, overlapping - with hybrid written in the overlap.

Even though Jira is officially an agile project management system, purely agile projects are rare in real life. Most project managers still practice waterfall project management to an extent. And although most development teams have been using agile methodologies to build software for years, business teams such as HR, marketing, and legal haven’t.

So, can Jira still work for teams and managers doing waterfall? The answer is yes, it can. However, Jira is best suited to teams and managers who may be doing waterfall now but want to transition to a more agile way of working in the future.

As it happens, that’s what most teams and managers these days want, particularly as the global shift to remote working is forcing organizations to become more agile. But while these organizations may understand the benefits of agile, embracing it is easier said than done for teams who are used to the hierarchies and forward momentum that characterize waterfall. That’s why a platform that enables them to continue doing waterfall to a certain degree, and introduce agile practices gradually, is the best fit.
