Waterfall vs Agile Triangle Comparison Plan Driven vs Value Driven Scope Cost Time

About this template

This slide compares Waterfall and Agile with two triangles, one upright and one inverted, so the change in what is fixed becomes visible at a glance. The Plan Driven triangle puts Scope at the top, while the Value Driven triangle puts Costs and Time at the top and Scope at the bottom. Orange and purple dots mark which corners are part of the contract and which are flexible, and shaded bands with brackets separate Fixed from Estimated. A short caption sits under each triangle. Use it for project management training, methodology comparisons and client discussions about contracts. Titles, labels, captions, colours and dot positions can all be edited.
