Nitpick: The RUP is not waterfall. First sentence on Wikipedia: "The rational unified process is an iterative software development process framework created by the Rational Software Corporation, a division of IBM since 2003".

Now, it IS very heavy and bureaucratic, and 99% of corporations applied it in the worst way possible, with heavy tooling and in strict waterfall fashion (even IBM/Rational consultants).

Sort of like SAFe, which . . . oh, wait! Was developed by the exact same people once they decided to get on the Agile gravy train!

And I say that as someone who works in Agile, supports it 100%, and has no time for the "it's a scam" whining.
