I was out shopping with my wife this morning. We popped into a craft store to allow her to pick up a few things for a project she’s undertaking.
I noticed this :
Which made me chortle a little. The fact that Kanban - Quality As Standard had made it into the realms of hand-crafted gift cards was surprising. Then my jaw dropped at the next card in the rack:
Wow! Waterfall and Kanban, right next to each other competing. Then I noticed this:
It turns out that nobody is buying Waterfall in the craft world. Nobody is buying it, no matter how it is packaged.

I think waterfall is an unreasonably nice name conjuring up clear flowing progress whereas I always picture waterfall in my head as being similar to birds feeding their young.
One person takes in something and regurgitates it in a more processed (or degraded?) form to the next. The analogy falls down though on scale as it’s usually half a dozen steps of birds vomiting into the mouths of ever smaller birds and then the final bird plops out the finished product that bears.
