Neo-Waterfallism

waterfall2006.com/ - Attention all project managers!

(hilarious site)

I had the pleasure of working for a startup company last year that was run by one of those guys who thinks he's an expert because he had a nameplate that said manager for a while at an already very well-functioning company. Of course he didn't realize that having all the pieces in place for a successful process is very different from building them up from the ground yourself, and still insisting on having a hand in everything rather than pass off the duty to someone with such experience.

This led to a development chart that looked _exactly_ like a waterfall chart. Part of me died when I didn't quit that very day.
