WATERFALL

Are the full specs, designs, and corner cases covered so that we get started?

🚩 RED FLAG

A person or team opts-in for a full analysis upfront, thinking about all the details before taking any action

Can fail during implementation as unknowns surface that require changes

THE BUREAUCRAT

I know we've fixed that already, but open a ticket please

THE BUREAUCRAT

🚩 RED FLAG

Stick to the process
No flexibility to skip unneeded task
Misalignment in responsibilities and ownership

Manage THE BUREAUCRAT THE BUREAUCRAT

A Linear team works in a waterfall way. They have full specs, full analysis, and full tasks breakdown way before the implementation starts. Beware of delivering a solution that is not relevant to the initial problem! Make sure to get progress feedback often.
