    I’ve had this conversation:

    We need to increase our velocity! Has the customer told us yet what they would like us to build?

      Unfortunately I can’t have that chat ever. I’m the one (in most of my career, not now) responsible for telling my folks what the customer wants, and not in a sales way.

    “Boss, most of the bricks we have are broken in pieces. We can’t build the wall per specifications.”

    “We have a deadline, get it done however possible by the end of the day today.”

      I loved agile as an analyst, we used to use waterfall and you’d hear about incorrect designs months later, or not at all, where in agile you can work out the details with the programmers and get both nearer the business requirements, and better designs

      Also I absolutely love the job of scrum master which had no equivalent in waterfall

        I love waterfall as an developer, I’m using agile now and we have incomplete, conflicting designs every sprint, or spills which affect our metrics, where in waterfall you can workout all the details and have full vision of product and better design with less reworks.

        Not to mock you. My point is that methodology is not import when team consists from responsible professionals

          There are some instances in which waterfall is not only entirely appropriate, but also the best possible choice in terms of work organization.

          There are some instances in which agile is the best fit. Likewise kanban.

          Different domains have different optimal workflows.
