About this White Paper
This paper conducts an analysis of two projects, both intended to produce the same Business Intelligence and Reporting system. One uses the classic Waterfall method, while the other uses an Agile process. The two projects are stress-tested with unforeseen challenges and delays, and the results are analyzed to show the differences in outcomes for the two projects. The Agile project emerges as the clear winner when uncertainty is high.
