However, project success rate is high. Hybrid approaches still require rigorous analysis before the development is started, which strongly limits the agility in the following development phase. Customer involvement or feedback loop is omitted in the development process. We accompany poor implementations with the unpreparedness of companies to fully adopt Agile, and missing senior roles, like scrum masters, to educate teams and organizations in proper agile practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-031-33976-9_12","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,19]],"date-time":"2023-05-19T20:24:29Z","timestamp":1684527869000},"page":"183-192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Real-Life Water-Scrum-Fall: Insights from Large Companies in Czech Republic"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4470-8505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michaela","family":"K\u0159iv\u00e1nkov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1086-7156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Remta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"12_CR1","unstructured":"Charvat, J.: Project Management Methodologies: Selecting, Implementing and Supporting Methodologies and Processes for Projects.
