But we have to accept the sad reality: many waterfall projects never conclude or do not satisfies the client needs. It's obvius that something is going wrong. Perhaps the client do not define well what he want, or it can be that developpers don't do always the right technical decision... It seems that "classical" methodologies are too rigid for humans.
