2. So how exactly do we build our product?

3. Consider the old approach: the classic “Waterfall”.

4. Great for airplanes, not for SMB software.

5. So how do we do it harder, better, faster, stronger

6. Science!

8. JIRA, enter stage right.

10. Takeaways
● “Waterfall” describes the old-fashioned approach of planning everything
in advance and then building it all in sequence.
● In contrast, “Agile” describes a method of building through small, constant,
and rapid iteration.
● The general philosophy is “a good product in market is better than a great
product in development”.
● Agile done well does NOT mean there is no vision nor plan for the future.
● Agile as an approach can work for every department, not just dev.

11. Cheers!
