Why almost all companies are moving from Waterfall to Agile?

Tabassum -

In short:

- Faster ROI
- Greater stakeholder satisfaction
- Improved quality
- Improved ability to respond to change

But adaptive approaches need to fit the context of a project - it should never be "we only do waterfall" or "we only do agile".

Agreed, Its not PM or BA who decides which path to follow waterfall or agile. Its totally depends on Stakeholders/Sponsors/Customers and of course can't ignore the budget constraints. Agile is more expensive than Waterfall.

Agreed, Waterfall is like suspense movie all requirements are collected and then development starts and delivery. Product is not visible to Stakeholders or customers, requirements are gathered and product is delivered after given time. In Agile, high level requirements are captured initially and then team gets more detail as they move forward. Its incremental piece by piece and visible to Stakeholders or customers all the time, requirements are put in backlog which is called product backlog and its been add/remove/edit and prioritize based on Stakeholders or customers needs. In PI meetings user stories are sized and bring into sprint which is also known as sprint backlogs
