In 1995, the FBI launched a criminal records system that was obsolete the day it shipped. It used green screens while Windows 95 was on the shelves.
That system lasted 15 years.
Waterfall creates a world where value arrives too late to matter. By the time the big launch finally comes, the world has moved on, your tech stack is ancient, and your users are stuck in the past.
Agile delivery doesn’t just help you fail faster. It helps you deliver before failure is baked in.
Still waiting for that “big release”? Your users have already left.
