A program manager is establishing governance for a program that will use agile methodologies. The organization's standard project management framework is waterfall-based.

Define program-level standards that incorporate agile practices, such as iterative planning and frequent reviews, while aligning with organizational reporting requirements.

Use a hybrid approach but do not document it to avoid confusion.

Allow projects to use agile without any program-level standards.
