Anyone that uses terms like "waterfall" and "agile" should be murdered with a blunt tea spoon

Agile is the name if the methodology. If you're killing people with spoons I'd start with the willfully ignorant.

NickK, sounds like you are looking at this from the development of software for sales, whereas my background is in the development of internal tools. We still do a business case around the solution as a whole and develop epics producing the full backlog once funding is given.

My biggest issues at the moment are marrying backend waterfall projects with large hardware requirements to Agile front end development.

Yup, attempting to drive sales through a full agile process is extremely difficult too. Sales can't take the feature set to the market or customers. Customers won't just take a whimsical promise of better in this area - especially when they can't quantify the benefit within their own company.

I've had the pleasure of working in the era that gave rise to Agile. I've been lead teams as we've tried different approaches like Pair programming, agile/scrum etc whilst in development.

which ones do people have, and what positions do you hold? (if you don't mind me asking)

Which is most likely to get you jobs in this country, in europe and worldwide (especially out of the 4 i've chosen in the chart)

I need to be able to compare and contrast, have something to talk about, unfortunately my knowledge on them is limited and the 4 i've chosen have been solely down to what information i could find.
