Think of a project that you have participated in or search for a project online (either a traditional or agile project) and document how the planning processes in the traditional waterfall project and that of an agile are similar or different. How is the planning process in traditional project management different from sprint planning in terms of inputs, tools, and output required for both types of planning?
2.5
When there is a difference between what is planned versus what is actual, we use a variance report in the analysis in a traditional project. How does the concept of a burndown chart help us track our planning activities? How do we track variance in agile? For example, you planned to create four red t-shirts, and during execution, you noticed that you produced four yellow t-shirts (variance). How would you manage this variance in an agile environment versus a traditional project?

Describe how the hybrid approach would make sense or not make sense for either your organization or an organization you are familiar with.
4.5
Identify an organization, through online research that has recently implemented an agile scrum framework and address the following:
· What are three challenges that were confronted during the implementation?
· How were these challenges resolved?
· Was the agile implementation successful? Why or why not?
· What advice would you give to an organization contemplating agile adoption?
