If GROWS became popular, it would also be 'sloganized', branded and ruined. People would go to one-day intensive GROWS courses, get certified and then just do waterfall anyway - exactly what's happened to Scrum and everything else.
I find it slightly ironic that they (correctly) say they are no silver bullets, then suggest a silver bullet.
- Jgrubb 11y agoI have to think that the whole GROWS thing is intended to be ironic.
- rossng 11y agoI did actually check the date on the article part-way through reading it.
- pkaye 11y agoI don't know anyone who just does waterfall anyway except for simple projects. You just can't get all you architecture and design done up front. There is a lot of iteration between architecture, design and coding. Requirements change and things need to adapt. That is not waterfall.
- chiph 11y agoLots of places do agile-washed waterfall. They're mostly places that look for a methodology-in-a-box type solutions.

Claiming a trademark is a threat of legal action against those hijacking the name to sell things in the same domain using the name without permission, which could be a potent way to prevent people from marketing things that are exactly the opposite from it calls for using its name the way it happened with Agile. > People would go to one-day intensive GROWS courses, get certified and then just do waterfall anyway Only if the owners of the trademark license GROWS certifications; if they are serious about preventing hijacking, they'll tightly control how the trademark is used and only use it on material (books, videos, potentially courses) consistent with the the intent of the system, and not for certification of people.
