      The best thing about this example is that Waterfall is exactly the right solution; customer ticks boxes on order form, finalises decisions, signs up to car. Car is made, car is delivered.

      A website lends itself to agile, where you can develop pages or parts thereof in isolation.

      A business intelligence solution could be either, so long as you go with the Kimball methodology rather than Inmon.

        Problem is with people who are obsessed with processes and following it by letter. It should be up to team to decide how they want to deliver product efficiently and it time. Most of the time people just play process to hide behind it and do nothing. Funny but if you remove all that mumbo jumbo, Scrum is not so different from iterative waterfall, which was around for last 20 years. Sure, in it you don’t have “Agile Coaches” and masters, who earn same salary as Dev and do absolutely nothing.

          Or as in most cases, end up using the JFDI method which seems to work...

            I particularly liked the 'adaptable to changing circumstances' thing where a sports car needs changing to a people carrier.

              Scrum - one man's take on micromanagement because he doesn't trust anyone.

              Waterfall without the sign offs?

                Had an eight hour round trip to an interview yesterday and found out today that they don't want people so far away from the site (I was going to stay near the office in the week, obviously).

                If one thing annoys me more than failing an interview, it is going to all the time and effort of going to an interview you were never going to get.

                    Given most people doing sign offs generally don't have a clue what they had, what they asked for, what they've received, that's not so bad a thing.
