Here's when to use a waterfall methodology with Power Platform

Should you use a traditional, waterfall approach to build Power Platform apps?

In this episode, I break down six situations when you might be tempted to use a waterfall method and share my thoughts on whether that's really the best approach.

1. Predictable and well-defined requirements
2. Regulated industries
3. Fixed-price contracts
4. Small or simple projects
5. No agile experience
6. Lots of dependencies

Out of these six suggested scenarios, there is only one I would use with a waterfall approach. Watch and find out!
