    In this episode, Peter Maddison and David Sharrock tackle the often polarizing topic of "hybrid" agile approaches.
    They break down why mindlessly blending practices like waterfall and agile is rarely the solution, as it creates an unsatisfactory middle ground that fails to maximize either approach's strengths. Instead, they suggest that organizations should aim to comprehensively understand the problems they're solving, and then purposefully apply the methodology best suited for that context - whether it's agile, waterfall, lean, or something else entirely.

    This week´s takeaways:

    • Avoid defaulting to a watered-down "hybrid" methodology that dilutes best practices.
    • Deeply analyze problems to determine the optimal approach - don't blindly apply one-size-fits-all.
    • Promote peer-to-peer cooperation and mutual understanding across boundaries between different practices rather than hierarchical control.
    • Strive for an integrated enterprise where distinct methodologies complement each other fluidly.
