No units, no references from field data. These graphs have no basis of discussion. Graphs without units of measure are a fundamental skill in “how to lie with statistics.”

Take your first graph - "Agile Project Management". Rename the Y-Axis as "% Completion". You now have a graph which depict the results achieved by the two methodologies. Traditional PM starts delivering results slowly, picks up speed as it goes along and eventually gets to 100% completion at the end. Agile PM seemingly starts delivering results very fast, buy quickly plateaus and then stops making any progress after some time! The full system never gets built since the requirements are changing all the time! There is one thing your PMI class did not tell you (and which all of us “old timers” have observed by now).
