Moving from waterfall → Agile (2-week sprints in Asana) — advice & pitfalls?

Hey everyone,

We’re converting our waterfall methodology to Agile in Asana. We’ve drifted into a hybrid (waterfall wearing an agile mask) and are now setting up a sprint board with a backlog and two-week sprints (e.g., Sprint 17: Sep 15–26; Sprint 18: Sep 29–Oct 10).

I’m looking for practical advice from teams who’ve done this:

  • What worked best early on?

  • Biggest pitfalls to avoid?

  • What you’d do differently if you were starting again?

  • Minimal fields/rules/dashboards that actually helped (no bloat).

  • Any tips for coordinating multiple process areas.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hello @Daniel_Marrelli!
Such an interesting question. I do not have experience with this particular transition, but I know we have some resources that might be helpful!

And you asked about pitfalls… :laughing:

I think it’s a bit challenging to provide advice without knowing the actual process.

I’m a fan of the minimalist approach! Simplicity is often best.
