Community Comment: Part 25 - When considering the choice between waterfall and agile methodologies, keep product life cycle in mind

  • Waterfall versus various agile claims
  • Software engineering methodologies
  • Poor methodologies assume product lifespan
  • Lifespan may be too short to see success

The comments I provided in reaction to a community discussion thread.

The first two scenarios are optimistic: these assume (1) the product actually gets past the crap stage, and (2) the lifespan of the product ends up being long enough to see this happen (in contrast with starting from scratch again).
