Slide 2 - Project Overview & Complexity Analysis

The slide outlines the project goals of redesigning the portal and integrating backend systems, driven by needs to boost efficiency and enhance user experience. It addresses uncertainties from the evolving tech landscape and requirements, involving cross-functional teams of developers, designers, and operations.

Project Overview & Complexity Analysis

  • Goals: Redesign portal and integrate backend systems
  • Drivers: Boost efficiency and enhance user experience
  • Uncertainties: Evolving tech landscape and requirements
  • Cross-functional teams: Developers, designers, operations
Speaker Notes
Highlight complexity drivers: efficiency needs, UX improvements, tech uncertainties, and cross-functional collaboration.

Slide 3 - Why a Hybrid Approach Is Necessary

Pure Agile excels in flexibility but risks chaos in complex tasks, while Waterfall offers structure but struggles with evolving requirements. A Hybrid Approach merges Agile speed for front-end redesign with Waterfall predictability for backend integration, balancing flexibility, control, and efficiency for volatile projects.

Why a Hybrid Approach Is Necessary

Pure Agile & WaterfallHybrid Approach

| Agile: Flexible, iterative – excels in adaptability but risks chaos in complex, dependent tasks.

Waterfall: Sequential, predictive – provides structure but inflexible for evolving requirements. | Best of both worlds: Agile speed for front-end redesign + Waterfall predictability for backend integration. Balances flexibility, control, and efficiency for this project's volatility. |

Speaker Notes
Compare pros/cons visually.

Slide 4 - Decision-Making Criteria for Selecting Hybrid

This slide outlines decision-making criteria for selecting a hybrid approach. Key factors include volatility needing frontend flexibility, backend risk requiring predictability, stakeholder involvement demanding agility, and dependencies calling for cross-system coordination.

Decision-Making Criteria for Selecting Hybrid

  • Volatility: High frontend changes require flexibility
  • Risk: Backend stability demands predictability
  • Stakeholder Involvement: Frequent input needs agility
  • Dependencies: Cross-system integration requires coordination

Speaker Notes
Explain weighted criteria: volatility (high weight due to frontend), risk (backend stability), stakeholder input, and dependencies drove hybrid selection.

Slide 5 - Selected Hybrid Model Structure

The selected hybrid model employs Scrum sprints for front-end development and a predictive phased approach for the backend. Milestones act as synchronization points, supported by a shared Definition of Done across teams.

Selected Hybrid Model Structure

  • Scrum for front-end development (sprints)
  • Predictive approach for backend (phases)
  • Milestones as synchronization points
  • Shared Definition of Done across teams
Speaker Notes
Diagram the hybrid model showing Scrum sprints for front-end, predictive phases for backend, milestones as sync points, and shared DoD.

Slide 6 - Hybrid Workflow & Collaboration

The Hybrid Workflow & Collaboration timeline starts with Week 1 Sprint Planning to define goals, tasks, and priorities, followed by weekly Alignment Meetings for progress reviews and blocker resolution. It features ongoing Iterative Development with daily stand-ups, Sprint End Demo Sessions for stakeholder feedback, and continuous Shared Documentation for transparency.

Hybrid Workflow & Collaboration

Week 1: Sprint Planning Team defines sprint goals, assigns tasks, and establishes priorities. Weekly: Alignment Meetings Cross-functional syncs review progress, address blockers, and realign efforts. Ongoing: Iterative Development Front-end teams execute sprints with daily stand-ups and refinements. Sprint End: Demo Sessions Showcase completed work to stakeholders for feedback and validation. Throughout: Shared Documentation Maintain living docs in shared repo for transparency and handoffs.
