FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right software development methodology for a new project?

A software development methodology is selected by evaluating project context, guidelines, and team requirements. This Skill uses a resolution cascade to analyze your inputs and formalize a recommendation among Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Waterfall, SAFe, LeSS, or a hybrid approach.

What's the best way to document my team's agile or lean workflow adoption?

The best way to document workflow adoption is updating a way-of-working.md file. This Skill records your chosen methodology and logs the decision to ensure alignment with project needs and best practices.

Can I use this to assess a hybrid development workflow for a large team?

Yes, you can assess a hybrid development workflow for large teams. The evaluation includes SAFe and LeSS alongside Scrum, Kanban, and Lean to match your specific scale and project context.

How does the resolution cascade approach work for selecting a dev methodology?

The resolution cascade approach works by reading project context and guidelines to systematically narrow down options. It filters methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, or Waterfall based on your specific constraints to recommend the best fit.

When should I not use Waterfall over an agile workflow for my project?

You should evaluate Waterfall versus agile workflows based on your project context. The assessment formalizes whether a predictive Waterfall approach or an adaptive agile methodology better aligns with your specific requirements and desired outcomes.
