Author: Winston W. Royce

Royce's 1970 paper is known as the original source of the waterfall model of software development. He used it as an example of a process that simply does not work. Unfortunately, his work was often cited without appropriate reading. Royce neither coined the term 'waterfall' nor advocated the waterfall model as a working methodology.
