I have defined the hybrid life cycle that my actual work place is using. But you can take information about an hybrid and almost using method looking at Agile SAP method or Agile PRINCE2. I have contributed to create both and I have to use them. Saving Changes...
there are a few ways of looking at hybrid projects:
1) Deliver specific work streams in the project using agile delivery approaches and others using traditional approaches
2) Deliver the overall project following a traditional OR agile approach but blend in specific techniques from other approaches
3) Water-Scrum-Fall
Depending on the context of the project, the maturity of the organization, and the team's capability and desires, one of these patterns might fit.
Outside of pure product development organizations, it's rare to see a full agile delivery approach - most will be hybrid...

It will be the most important challenge for nowadays and future project managers to blend the available approaches for best project results and accordingly the needs and circumstances of the specific project.
Like Kiron said, I guess in the more and more complex and fast-changing world we live today there where more and fewer projects using just one classical approach.
Important will be to enable the performing organizations also to execute those approaches.
Future in project management is challenging and exciting ...;) Saving Changes...

Because our company uses a shared resources model, we have to hybridize our Agile approach.
For example, I will vary the frequency of meetings, including stand-ups, according to where we are in the project and/or cycle.
It will be interesting to see how we will further adapt as we start using the hybrid approach on larger projects. Saving Changes...

Agile is not a silver bullet - if the underlying organizational maturity and the mindset & behavior of key stakeholders does not evolve, then just changing delivery approach won't make things better.
However, if those characteristics are in place, then using an agile or hybrid approach where applicable could result in improvements in value realization time and quality.
