Being stranded at Universal Studios taught podcast host Brittany Wilkins a valuable lesson—traditional methods still work. In this episode, she shares how that unexpected moment sparked a deeper realization about project management: the importance of knowing when to choose Agile, Waterfall, or a hybrid of both.

🚖 Agile is the Uber. Waterfall is the taxi.
Both have value. Both have a place. The smartest project leaders know which ride to take based on the road ahead.

💡 What You'll Learn:

  • Why Waterfall still works for projects requiring structure, compliance, and predictability
  • When Agile thrives in fast-paced, feedback-driven environments
  • How to build a hybrid approach that combines the best of both worlds
  • Real-world analogies and case studies to help you make smarter project decisions

Plus, Brittany gives a special shoutout to new listener Megan, who’s transitioning into project management and already finding value in the Masterclass community.
