In 2026, many projects are neither purely “waterfall” nor purely “agile” – they are hybrid, tailored to context, constraints, and organisational culture.

This interactive panel brings together leaders to explore how PMBOK‑style project management and Agile ways of working can complement each other, rather than compete.

The moderator will dive into real stories from South Australian organisations where teams have blended approaches to improve outcomes: agile delivery running inside traditional governance, sprints within stage gates, PMO expectations alongside empowered product teams.

Panelist's will unpack how they decide when to use predictive, agile, or hybrid, and how they handle pressure for control, compliance, and change along the way.

You’ll leave with ideas you can apply on your next initiative, including:

  1. Simple heuristics for choosing and tailoring delivery approaches.
  2. Ways to maintain governance and stakeholder confidence without killing agility.
  3. Tips for PMs, Scrum Masters, and leaders navigating careers across both worlds.

An event made possible by two Adelaide communities in collaboration.
