Les bonnes intentions et l'engagement des décideurs, la pertinence du but recherché ne sont pas des garanties de succès. Il ne suffit pas d'expliquer que le changement proposé est bon, intelligent, utile, stratégique. Le changement est aussi question de méthode et d'outils.

But do PMs have the skills they need to keep a project afloat?

Waterfall methodology is part of the linear, scope-driven lifecycles family of approaches. As it is the manifestation of the command-and-control organization, it is highly prescriptive. Almost all organizations using the methodology have a similar set of processes, mostly based on the PMBOK (more on that later).

The agile practice is only one of the many iterative methods devised by development leaders in the past. Fundamentally speaking, iterative methods opposed the overly-incremental approach of the waterfall method by using a multitude of smaller phases. These phases encompass the main parts of the waterfall method (requirement, design, implementation, verification, and maintenance); but done so in smaller, more frequent increments.
