What is a Model? H. L. Mencken: “For every complex problem there is a solution that is simple, neat and wrong.”
Cowboy Coding • You already know how to do this!
The Waterfall Model • Introduced by Winston Royce in 1970 • DoD Projects mandated the use of this model throughout the 1980s and 1990s. (DoD STD 2167)
Royce only illustrated it so he could highlight how BAD the process is! • The failure rate of DoD projects using the waterfall model was only 75%!!! • An ISO 9001 Certified Company advertising theri use of the waterfall approach: • http://www.saahisystems.com/solutions.html • LAST year a paper was published investigating the ‘merits’ of the waterfall model • http://www.springerlink.com/content/v742q69022jq6773/ http://www.infoq.com/resource/articles/scaling-software-agility/en/resources/ch02.pdf
