Yeah, but waterfall requires that management knows what they want. It's impossible!

Old man yells at cloud these damn Americans using "ironic" when they mean "sarcastic"

Sarcasm is a type of irony.

So often it's patience from stakeholders to allow for time to actually design and build the things, or willingness to admit the actual cost, or an impossible grand vision with an unqualified/understaffed team, and of course reprioritizing constantly as if it's easy to resume later without paying ramp up.

Don't get me started on the constant detailed status reports...

Yeah, it requires replacing the "you test the rocket" with "you test the rocket and it fails or doesn't meet the updated mission specifications" and the "you go to mars" with "you want to go to mars"
