"The Firm"

From now on, I will simply refer to my employer as "The Firm" for simplicity's sake.

Last week, The Firm had a meeting to explain our "new" methodology which I had been jokingly calling "Iterative Waterfall".   The funny part is that my boss actually used that phrase in the meeting...

Now that I am on a roll, maybe I need to coin (warp) another name - maybe Incapeability Immaturity Model Integration (IIMI) instead of CMMI?

Hmm...it seems that eventhough "Iterative Waterfall" is a new term to me, it has been around a bit already:

In this situation, what I am referring to is an attempt to fix traditional Waterfall via adding iterations during the development/testing phases.

I still think it is flawed and is simply trying, albeit badly, to fix the same problems that are already addressed by the various Agile methodologies.
