Waterfall vs Agile Poop Chart

Text on the meme

Waterfall JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV Agile JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV

What it means

A humorous comparison chart shows one giant poop emoji appearing at the end of November in the “Waterfall” model, while progressively larger poop emojis appear from March through November in the “Agile” model. The joke mocks how waterfall projects deliver one huge result at the deadline, whereas agile projects produce frequent iterations that grow over time. It is used as a reaction to software development workflows, project management, and repeated incremental releases.
