		<description>Although the waterfall process is considered an &quot;old, slow method of development&quot; it does make sense in an established market where the customer&#039;s needs are known. 

In a new market quick iteration and brave pivots based on customer feedback and business analysis are the best way to achieve success.</description>

		<description>Generally the software development industry has caught on to the fact that iterative development is a good thing. Only people that don’t believe in common sense &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.testkings.net/350-001.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;testking 350-001&lt;/a&gt; think it’s a great idea to leave all of your testing to the end and hope for the best. With that in mind then why do people still have a waterfall mentality to their software development processes?

At the beginning of a project you can’t possibly know everything about it, that’s one of the many reasons it makes sense to iterate, so you can do some work and then refine your plans based on your work. For some odd reason though a lot of projects, even though they might develop iteratively, seem to think they should define their process at the beginning of a project in great detail and then stick to it regardless of the facts due to some misguided need for process alignment or similar.</description>
