Managing Projects Beyond Agile and Waterfall

A strategic guide that challenges Agile vs. Waterfall misconceptions and presents a value-driven, life cycle–based project management model tailored to context and complexity.

This paper by Uruk Project Management reframes the Agile vs. Waterfall debate, revealing that both are product development models—not project management methods. It introduces the Uruk Value Delivery Methodology (VDM), a business-integrated framework that emphasizes value realization, project life cycle governance, and methodological tailoring based on project context. The document outlines the six essential components of a true PM method, debunks common myths, and provides a more effective, adaptable approach to managing diverse project types—from agile product delivery to capital-intensive infrastructure. Ideal for executives, PMOs, and practitioners seeking clarity beyond buzzwords.
