Applying 1970 Waterfall Development Lessons Learned within Today’s Agile Development Process
Paper Title:
Applying 1970 Waterfall Lessons Learned Within Today’s Agile Development Process
Abstract:
While working for TRW in 1970, Dr. Winston Royce published an IEEE paper that described the waterfall development process. In his paper he states “I believe in the concept but the implementation described is risky and invites failure.” He then “presents five additional features that must be added to this basic approach to eliminate most of the development risks.” This paper reviews these five additional features recommended in 1970 and describes how they are incorporated into today’s agile development process to reduce agile project development risks.
