A few years ago I took a photograph an old wooden tombstone. The tombstone read, “Walter Crumbly, Hanged by Mistake – Sorry Walter.” It seems like the software industry wants to collectively hang the waterfall software development method and structured methods. In the not too distant future the software development industry will wake up and realize the move to Agile Methods was a mistake. This is not the first time we have seen an entire industry wrong. The Y2K issue was greatly overblown and the dot com is another black eye. The entire software development industry has a credibility gap.
