Structured Flexibility: The Case for Agilefall in Public Sector Projects
Video Description
speaker: cneslund
Historically, Agilefall has been treated like the clumsy, awkward middle ground that no one wants to admit they’re using. But in government projects, where regulations, procurement constraints, gated decisions, and stakeholder oversight are real and immovable, Agilefall isn’t a disappointing compromise, it’s a necessity.
Agilefall exists because it's where reality and theory meet. Public sector teams need a structured-yet-adaptable approach that respects accountability while enabling iteration. Agilefall thrives in this reality.
This session isn’t here to argue Agile vs. Waterfall -- it’s here to show you how to make Agilefall work for government projects. We’ll cover where it shines, how to apply it intentionally, and why it’s time to embrace what actually works instead of what “should” work.
