Episode 13: Project Methodologies: Waterfall, Agile, and Hybrid

Here, we introduce the most widely used project management methodologies and explain their relevance to the PK0-005 exam. You’ll learn how the linear, sequential approach of Waterfall differs from the iterative, adaptive nature of Agile. We also explore hybrid methodologies, which blend elements of both to suit projects requiring structure but also flexibility. Understanding the advantages, limitations, and appropriate applications of each is critical for selecting the right approach during exam scenarios.

We expand with examples from IT and other industries, showing when Waterfall’s predictability is an asset, when Agile’s adaptability drives success, and how hybrids can bridge gaps. You’ll also hear about how methodology choice influences documentation, team roles, stakeholder engagement, and risk management. This knowledge prepares you to answer methodology-related exam questions with confidence and to make informed decisions in practice.
