Hi Antsstyle - In 2000, I was 20 years into my career ;-)

During the 1980s I was on quite a few software development projects. Of all of those, only one was waterfall.

The others are what I would call "put a good person in charge and stand back".

Ironically, those projects (except the waterfall one) were extremely agile! I wrote about some of them here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-best-dev-team-experience-cliff-berg/
