Construction, it seems, is a "waterfall" by definition, and, it is, probably, from architecture the model took its roots.
Agile came from business and finance, where everything is uncertain and even not well understood.
- ethbro 10y agoAs someone who studied the field, construction in abstract seems a waterfall model. Construction in practice requires something very similar to agile: too many uncontrolled real world variables, interdependent timelines, and sheer laws of physics. If everything goes right, yes waterfall. Everything never goes right.
