  • No,

    Serious teams know that building big software is hard and that starting by having a set deadline is the first failure point of a project.

    Serious team wants a set budget and feature set. They also want a dialog with the aquiring party, because as you dig deeper in the software you uncover oddities. These oddities are more often than not a failure of the aquiring party understanding of their own business operations.

    And thus, a serious team will help the aquiring party refine their business process by either removing useless steps, adding missings steps or changing a step in the overall workflow. And that’s were the most of the value of making a new software comes from.

    Doing waterfall will stop this from happening and will remove actual value from the software because it’s going to be bloated with useless things that were badly understood by the aquiring party.

    Agile is about producing as much value as possible, as fast as possible, in a set budget.

    English is my third language so sorry if it’s hard to understand or feel aggressive.













  • Yeah! It’s fascinating seeing both types of post from trumpidor the first. That said … I wonder how that works in our material world.

    I mean - from my point of view and analysis, trumpidor is either an actor playing the role of a floundering politician or a floundering politician.

    If he is an actor, most of what I see starts to make sense. He has a team, he works with other, he’s mostly a Muppet with other imperialist hands up his ass and so he must be pitied as he is not his own man.

    If he is not … Everything becomes more complicated as he’s most likely only a demented old man in an untenable position, trying his best to stay afloat in the sea of shit he is himself creating. It’s at best a real attempt at disturbing the uncomfortable status quo and at worst, elder abuse.

    But I’m to get back to the subject, what I am really wondering is how it would work in real life if he had a team writing these. How can these people sleep at night ? Who are they ? Where do they come from ? Why don’t they talk / whistleblower / boast about it ?

    Keeping secret is hard …

    So maybe we are just seeing trumpidor in moments of lucidity and then in rage/drugs/stress induced moments ?

    It’s so hard to guess from so far away …
