Flaws in Scrum and Agile

• dalke 12y ago
  "When the Agile Manifesto was written, waterfall development was king. Agile deposed waterfall from its status as the dominant software development paradigm." Why do people say that? The book "Rapid Development", written in the 1990s, comes straight out of the RAD movement, based out of Boehm spiral mode. "Rapid Development" emphasized that iterative development is an industry best practice, and that waterfall was only rarely appropriate. It's like people want to believe in a mythology that we are the offspring of recent, visionary revolutionaries, instead of the reality that there's a long history behind what we do.
