First part of Jeff Patton’s Communitech presentation Embrace Uncertainty, Strategies for on-time delivery in an uncertain world., given on Sept 9, 2008, at Holiday Inn, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

Jeff Patton’s message is to question what you think you know if you want to avoid the troubles you could run if processes are followed by the book.

He shows in this episode the problem with the incremental approach to agile software development.

There are various software development approaches defined and designed which are used/employed during development process of software, these approaches are also referred as “Software Development Process Models”. Each process model follows a particular life cycle in order to ensure success in process of software development.

Waterfall approach was first Process Model to be introduced and followed widely in Software Engineering to ensure success of the project. In “The Waterfall” approach, the whole process of software development is divided into separate process phases. The phases in Waterfall model are: Requirement Specifications phase, Software Design, Implementation and Testing & Maintenance. All these phases are cascaded to each other so that second phase is started as and when defined set of goals are achieved for first phase and it is signed off, so the name “Waterfall Model”. All the methods and processes undertaken in Waterfall Model are more visible.

The V-model is a software development model, which can be presumed to be the extension of the waterfall model. Instead of moving down in a linear way, the process steps are bent upwards after the coding phase, to form the typical V shape. The V-Model demonstrates the relationships between each phase of the development life cycle and its ociated phase of testing.
