It's a popular misconception of the agile community that Waterfall is used in any domain outside their own personal experience, and Big Design Up Front (BDUF) and Big Bang Development (BBD) are the only alternatives to Agile. . This of course is a misinformed and sometime intentionally misinformed idea used to cloud the conversation.

There's a popular phrase in some parts of the agile community that goes like this. Software development is a Value Creaton activity, but Value cannot be determined unless we know the cost to produce that value and when that value will be available for use by those who of paid for that Value. We focus on value production, not delivery.
