There is something to say for design and long term (old fashioned) waterfall. Imagine starting building a rocket today to deliver a satellite to a specific location in space tomorrow. The just ship it paradigm has its place making web apps and smart phone app doo-dads, but that's about it.
- raverbashing 4y agoFunny that you say that because SpaceX uses iterations to produce their rockets Yes, planning ahead is good, but it is not end all, be all
- youainti 4y agoI think the difference is in what is trying to be produced. Musk has said that his goal is to build a rocket factory, i.e. SpaceX is trying to produce lots of rockets, not a few rockets. In software that might look like a company where they have lots of teams experiment with lots of software and project management approaches across a wide variety of project types. This second order concern contrasts rather heavily with the first order concern of making and supporting software products.

- marcosdumay 4y agoYep, imagine building a rocket without ever making prototypes.
- RockingGoodNite 4y agoI agree and nothing about waterfall denied making prototypes, ever. We all know modern agile is nothing more than mini-waterfalls anyway.
