Hi community,
I am a Project Office Supervisor at a medium-sized computer software company.
I want to implement Jira, but I have some concerns about projects that are a mix of waterfall and agile.
In some of my company projects, we need to follow mixed projects. Some parts are integrated with agile and other parts with waterfall. I need the best solution that can do both.
Thank you for your help.
Hi Ivonne,
You can do it with Jira, but in my point of view, Jira is not the right tool for waterfall projects. The main capabilities of Jira are in the area of ticketing, sprint planning, and kanban. There might be a possibility to construct a kind of waterfall project using Jira Roadmaps or a plug-in. The problem starts by entering a planned start and end date for an activity, there are simply no fields in Jira for that. So you can do it, but you have to spend time, effort and additional money to get it to work. The better way would be to use a tool that can integrate Jira as the agile component of a hybrid project structure.
