Deliver in small steps, instead of planning big.
My approach
I'd rather plan projects in small steps than design big and fail late. Every finished piece should deliver value before the whole is in place. Whether classic or agile, I don't decide by fashion but by how clear the goal and the path are. As a certified Product Owner (Scrum), I know both worlds.

How I apply it
In practice, I build out from the smallest viable result and keep progress visible, rather than hiding it in status slides. I clarify complexity up front: where the goal is clear, it runs classically; where it's unclear, in iterations. That way the team delivers early and measurably — and corrects before it gets expensive.
