This is a terrific metaphor. Mis-en-place at home cooking only works if you have a very, very detailed recipe. Just like waterfall — if you’re gonna just full steam ahead on a project you gotta know what you’re working towards. Any missing detail (forgot the garlic! Forgot to think about an edge case!) can derail the recipe/project. Agile is more like a stir fry, you chop up some onions and throw them in, then see what else you got, all one step a time, and evolve and taste as you go.
