Waiting for this title: "Ignoring waterfall and agile fads while sticking with Boehm spiral model (1986), good management, minimal meetings/paperwork, regular code reviews, and usage-driven testing. Best decision I ever made."

Haven't seen it yet but it's worked for many organizations and projects. For decades. Surely some improvements since then but one has to wonder what the useless-to-critical ratio is in activities of the new things. It still isn't clear to me.
