No I have no source, only my own experiences. I have a couple of friends / colleagues / class mates working in various sectors of the industry. Saab, Denel, Armscor represents my comments on the DO-178 work. Saab actually implements scrum, but from my understanding it is more like scrum bolted on to waterfall :D. I have also been in a couple of interviews lately, specifically at ATE / Paragon, C-Track, Grintek and RapidM. All basically have the same Waterfall methodology. Now I was careful to state that it is the case with businesses requiring degreed engineers. Web development shops in SA probably follows a more agile approach, the only one I know of, Entelect for instance is fully agile as far as I can tell, but I don't really know anybody there. It could also be that only me and my network is experiencing this, it is all anecdotal, but then again, I doubt there is some kind of study that can give you a better picture. I am based in Centurion in case you were wondering. Also its not about if Waterfall / Agile is best, its because the contracts are generally setup with fixed deliverables, which suits waterfall best. Lastly even with honours degrees the curriculum is set, and the professors aren't too keen on changing it too often.
