This presentation outlines one team’s shift from the traditional waterfall methodology to an agile approach for web development. The transformation occurred over the course of an advising system project at The Ohio State University. Using the five stages of grieving as a metaphor, we will describe how the team moved from denial that waterfall was failing to acceptance that agile practices would be the best way to deliver the mission-critical application. Ultimately, the entire team re-envisioned itself, transformed its business practices, and evolved into a significantly more agile shop.
