In the downloadable sample there is a nice analysis which refutes the "zealots who enforced weren't the brightest".
In the short: there were no zealots. Nothing was enforced, the term "waterfall" comes up much later and it was meant as being iterative from the beginning.
So one might ask: how come that this folklore is being trumpeted all around like a truth?
- discreteevent 14y agoI know that waterfall was originally meant to be iterative. What I meant by "the whole waterfall thing" was the practice of it in industry. And by "zealots who enforced weren't the brightest", I meant mainly management in enterprise development who arent' bright enough to understand what development is and so want to treat it as a repeatable process like manufacturing which is much easier to 'manage' than any kind of creative process.
