Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When your project starts to form, choose your path with careful thought
Waterfall flows straight and true when requirements can't be fought
Clear and stable, scope defined, sequential steps in perfect line
Predictive methods work just fine when changes rarely cross your mind

[Chorus]
Method-ology, find the key
Scrum or Kanban, what will it be?
Waterfall or Agile way
Choose the right approach today
Method-ology, complexity
Stacey Matrix shows the way to see

[Verse 2]
Scrum brings roles that work as one, Product Owner sets the tone
Scrum Master guides the team, Developers build what they own
Sprint Planning starts the race, Daily Scrum keeps up the pace
Sprint Review shows the work, Retrospective finds the grace

[Chorus]
Method-ology, find the key
Scrum or Kanban, what will it be?
Waterfall or Agile way
Choose the right approach today
Method-ology, complexity
Stacey Matrix shows the way to see

[Verse 3]
Kanban flows with WIP limits tight, pull system feels just right
Cumulative flow diagrams show where work gets stuck in sight
XP brings the practices strong, pair programming all day long
Test-driven development, continuous integration's song

[Bridge]
Shu-Ha-Ri shows the learning way
Follow rules, then break and play
Finally transcend the form
Mastery keeps knowledge warm

[Verse 4]
Lean eliminates the waste, amplify learning with great haste
Decide as late as you can dare, deliver fast with time to spare
Hybrid methods blend the best, when pure approaches fail the test
Cynefin helps you understand, complex, complicated, or simple planned

[Chorus]
Method-ology, find the key
Scrum or Kanban, what will it be?
Waterfall or Agile way
Choose the right approach today
Method-ology, complexity
Choose the method that will set you free

[Outro]
SAFe and LeSS scale it up
Disciplined Agile fills the cup
Every project needs its way
Choose your methodology today
