Much has been heard of the advantages and disadvantages of using only a classical approach in projects or only an agiel approach, but the question is why not use a hybrid scheme. What is the limitation for its use or is it more advantageous than continuing to discuss the extreme criteria? Saving Changes...

You will find, José, that most experienced project managers will report that hybrid approaches have been used for years now.
Different organizations have different capacities to go fully agile. Hence, they incorporate what they can, according to what the culture allows or tolerates. Saving Changes...

First of all, there is not an hybrid model of project management. You have to select a model (practices) to tollow, for example the PMI way. Second, what you choose is an approach based on a life cycle model (predictive or adaptive), a life cycle process based on that model (V, Spiral, Iterative, Incremental, etc) and if applies a method which is based on the life cycle process. All these is very important to understand to not fail. My recommendation is taking a look to the new PMBOK (if you follow the PMI way) where all these stuff is very well explained. Adding something, there are criterias that organizations have to define to select all that. For example, inside the organization where I am working today, we have five life cycles defined and we select one based on criterias like type of product to create, time to market and others. The same project manager is working at the same time leading more than one project that is using totally different approaches. Saving Changes...
