RE: [re-online] waterfall model

Dear list members,

Strictly for amusement:

I was discussing this topic with a colleague this morning, and made the point that "waterfall" is an incorrect term, really, because it implies an uninterrupted flow (of water) from top to bottom. A better term might be
"cascade", since a cascade hits obstacles (projecting rocks) on the way
down. "Sort of a rapids," my colleague remarked, whereupon a new paradigm for software development was born: "Rapids Application Development".

(And a thought relevant to a parallel discussion on salesmen's promises:
"Vapid Application Development").

Regards,
