Build it and they will come.<\/h3>\n

This adage has now been proven for centuries: the pyramids, air planes, the Eiffel tower, Disney Land, Dubai, Las Vegas. Built it and they will come. Customer crave for new things pushed with good marketing. Good marketing will sell any well built product.<\/p>\n

The best way to go from A to B<\/h3>\n

A clear and linear process, that go get your from point A to point B. With an unbeatable certainty.
\nNot an iterative process that makes you turn around in circles and leaves you where you started.
\nWith the waterfall startup, you are actually making clear, visible and trackable progress. Toward your goal (point B).<\/p>\n

Requirement-Design-Development-Verification-Maintenance Line<\/h3>\n

Define the requirement, then design your product, then develop it, verify the quality of your product, launch and enter maintenance mode. If you do it right, marketing and sales will take over the startup will succeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cA goal without a plan is just a wish.\u201d
\n\u2015 Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Deliver fully finished products<\/h3>\n

Customers hate prototypes. The Waterfall Startup allows you to control the quality of your product according to your standards and only release your product to your first customer when 100% of the requirements have been delivered. A half baked customer experience (CX) will damage your brand for ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cCEOs hate variance. It’s the enemy. Variance in customer service is bad. Variance in quality is bad. CEOs love processes that are standardized, routinized, predictable. Stamping out variance makes a complex job a bit less complex.\u201d

Get big fast.<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s all about first mover advantage, take the market first or be a follower for ever. Think of Coke and Pepsi… Pizza Hut and Domino\u2019s. With the waterfall startup, plan precisely your growth with a 5 to 10 business plan.<\/p>\n

Gather all stakeholder requirements upfront<\/h3>\n

Predictability makes everything safer for everyone. Fix early on what you are going to build before doing anything else. Involve all internal stakeholder and wait for final formal approval. Once the gate is validated move to the next phase to design the right solution and the test case. Make sure you cover all the edge case. Double and triple check your solution and design. Request again all internal stakeholder formal approval before moving to the next phase.<\/p>\n
