Did you know \u2018phased program\u2019 \u2013 (waterfall SDLC) was developed by NASA<\/p>\n
And inspecting the failed programs, this process was found to be extremely inefficient<\/p>\n
The phased program \/ gated development process \/ waterfall model was said to be very good at trying to show an over-glorified picture of the software<\/p>\n
The focus was on documenting rigorously and proof.<\/p>\n
I guess that\u2019s where the Agile manifesto said \u2013 we value working product over comprehensive documentation<\/p>\n
Many of our teams might have moved into an \u2018agile\u2019 model, but this idea of valuing working software over documentation still has not gone away<\/p>\n
We insist on over documenting nonsense stuff, and under-documenting where needed.<\/p>\n
Classic example \u2013 still maintaining those long test cases, and having very less context around stories or importantly writing feature files to agree on the product\u2019s \u2018behavior\u2019 with the team<\/p>\n
