"This has happened to me before at XYZ where they only followed the waterfall method because they need budgeting to be predictable. I was assigned to manage the in-house development of a workforce management system. Because this was going to be their first development project for the company, I thought that it would be best to keep the process agile. Even though I was hired for my experience in software development, that doesn't mean that I can predict an exact timeline. I still needed to familiarize myself with the company's specific needs. So, I mocked up an agile workflow with regular budget reviews and presented it to the team. I included projected outcomes. Fortunately, I was able to convince everyone to run agile just for this project."
