In Sanplex, different Projects can be managed using different management models. Sanplex currently supports multiple project management models, including Scrum, Waterfall, Kanban, Hybrid Agile, and Hybrid Waterfall. More flexible custom models will also be supported in the future.

Scrum Model

Projects using the Scrum model support end-to-end agile project management. A Project can include one or more sprints.

Sanplex provides comprehensive support for Scrum, including aligned concepts and roles, as well as end-to-end support for product management, sprint management, and release management. This helps teams adopt agile practices more quickly and execute them more effectively.

Waterfall Model

Projects using the Waterfall model support sequential project management. A Project can include multiple stages, such as Requirements, Design, Development, Testing, Release, and Review.

The Waterfall model in Sanplex includes a wide range of built-in capabilities, such as project planning, estimation, design, milestones, weekly reports, baselines, configuration, process management, version management, document management, issue management, risk management, opportunity management, training management, and meeting management. It also supports stage customization and nested stages, helping organizations improve delivery control through clear phase planning, thorough requirements analysis, and formal design reviews.

Kanban Model

Projects using the Kanban model support visual project process management. A Project can include one or more Kanban boards.

With the Kanban method, teams can visualize workflows, identify delivery bottlenecks, accelerate work flow, and enable faster delivery.

Sanplex also supports Cumulative Flow Diagrams, making it easier to track how the number of work items in each stage changes over time.

Hybrid Agile Model

The Hybrid Agile model allows Scrum teams and Kanban teams to collaborate within the same Project. It also supports combining Scrum and Kanban across different stages of the same Project.

This model brings together the strengths of both Scrum and Kanban, allowing iterative development and pull-based workflow management to be used within a single Project. It is suitable both for different delivery phases within one team and for cross-team collaboration across teams with different management styles.

Hybrid Waterfall Model

The Hybrid Waterfall model combines Waterfall, Scrum, and Kanban into a single integrated approach. It blends the structured flow of Waterfall with the flexibility of agile methods, helping teams maintain orderly project progression while responding quickly to change.

This model offers clear planning and control, stronger responsiveness to change, and greater flexibility and adaptability. It provides detailed plans and well-defined stages while still allowing adjustments during delivery, which can improve both project success rates and customer satisfaction.
