Details of the Waterfall Conference 2025

A conference dedicated to all aspects of Waterfall Model of software development. Many companies are Dropping Agile , Scrum, Kanban, Lean Startup, XP, SAFe, FDD, RAD, AUP and all other forms of Agile to move back to the safe and sequential development process. As you know it is much easier to fix a requirements bug in the requirements phase than to fix that same bug in the implementation phase, as to fix a requirements bug in the implementation phase requires scrapping at least some implementation and design work which has already been completed. As you know the Waterfall Model provides a structured approach; the model itself progresses linearly through discrete, easily understandable and explainable phases and thus is easy to understand; it also provides easily identifiable milestones in the development process. It is for this reason that the Waterfall Conference is so popular in many software engineering companies.


Keynotes by industry leaders, sessions by real live developers and process enthusiasts. Sponsorship opportunities available.


After years of being disparaged by some in the software development community, the Waterfall Process is back with a vengeance. You've always known a good Waterfall-based process is the right way to develop software projects . Come to the Waterfall Conference 2025 and see how a sequential development process can benefit your next project. Learn how slow, deliberate handoffs (with signatures!) between groups can slow the rate of change on any project so that development teams have more time to spend on anticipating user needs through big, upfront design.


Sessions Discover Waterfall Conference 2025 and take back the latest in software methods, technologies, process tools, and leadership principles from thought leaders who deliver inspiring keynotes, in-depth tutorials, and a wide range of conference classes. Join industry experts and peers in the Waterfall community for 3 days jam-packed with learning sessions that will help you make a powerful impact in your job role and for your organization.


New this year! 4 day pre-conference tutorial called "Big Design Up Front" (BDUF) focusing on how large projects that have unchanging requirements prepare a design up front to ensure a stable system. This tutorial will focus the first 3 days on producing the correct design before the implementation is started on the second half of the last day.

How can I justify my lanyard for Waterfall Conference 2025?

We take pride in knowing that some of the most sought after industry thought leaders cut their teeth sharing from our stage. You aren't just another lanyard on a string. We keep our Waterfall Conference limited to a few thousand tickets. This keeps it awesome so you will have a great time, hang out with wonderful people, and learn a ton!

Great question! We got this all of the time. Waterfall Conference 2025 has transparent pricing listed below. Check back or even refresh the browser often, as our pricing often changes.

Explain how your pricing changes?

High demand = higher prices. When demand exceeds supply Waterfall Conference raises tickets prices. This is because we know that people are willing to pay more to secure a lanyard.

We also use dynamic pricing strategies. Waterfall Conference tickets are adjusted in real-time based on current demand, competitor pricing, and other factors. This allows us to maximize revenue by charging the highest possible price that you will pay at any given time.
