Report🧭 Why Agile Replaced Waterfall in ERP Projects
Especially in Business Central
In the early days of ERP implementations, Waterfall was the go-to model.
It made sense on paper: gather all requirements up front, build everything, test at the end, and go live. But in reality? Things rarely went as planned.
Then came Agile—and it completely changed how we deliver Business Central projects. 🚀

Then came Agile—and it completely changed how we deliver Business Central projects. 🚀
​​​​​​​💧 Why Waterfall Struggled in ERP:
♦ Requirements were locked too early — before users fully understood their needs
♦ Months passed before users saw anything usable
♦ Any change in scope caused delays, rework, and frustration
♦ Real feedback came after UAT — often too late to pivot
🔁 Why Agile Works Better in Business Central:
♦ We deliver in iterations (e.g., core setup → finance → sales → warehouse)
♦ Users can see and test features early, not at the end
♦ Continuous feedback improves adoption and accuracy
♦ Teams collaborate across departments, not in silos
♦ We adapt easily to evolving needs or priorities
💡 Agile isn't just a delivery model — it's a mindset shift.
It brings clients and partners together for faster value, clearer visibility, and more successful go-lives.
If your BC project is stuck in long cycles, missed expectations, or constant rework — maybe it’s time to rethink the approach.
🔄 In today’s ERP world, adaptability is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
