#Rant

I work for a client that introduced a "roadmap" with tasks labeled with task numbers in May this year. And its 1st July and development-wise we are at task #15. And the client havent asked us to deploy anything yet. Not even task #1.

So its been 2 months of us just developing features in our local machines and now its pissing me off.

What would you do in my situation ?

Technically such type of development is... allowed for some of domain areas. Best fitting even

But in general no of course.

Ergh. I had somewhere book which mentioned which types of software development planning are fitting for which area. U could check it first.

System design and analysis by Dennis?
I think McConnel in code complete briefly mentioned too

If I remember correctly it was said to be good for medicine / rocket science / basically high sensetive stuff like that

@darkwind I dunno what you're referring to....

But if I got @Sid2006 right, then there is not even one feature deployed nor reviewed.

Meaning that 2 months of work have no feedback, no critic nothing.

This is dangerous and stupid.

Even more when you don't have a deployment and everyone of the dev (presumably) uses a different setup as no one enforced a standard setup.

I'd either start hulk slamming some POs heads in their tables and bringing shit to order ASAP or quit.

These jobs end usually in a clusterfuck scenario....

Fair point.

I mean I was referring to waterfall of planning here.

But even if it is waterfall... We can't go without feedback, because pure waterfall does not make sense I guess in modern times

@darkwind pure waterfall...

Ouch.

It requires a paradoxon to work: That the client gave full, correct and precise requirements.

That's like winning the lottery, getting married by a loving person with endless finances and good character, all while getting diagnosed with resistance to cancer and most forms of age diseases.

At the same day.
