SCRUM vs. Waterfall

I didn’t realize how frustrating it would be to take a new job that doesn’t do SCRUM. I was told it was an iterative development process. But, honestly, it’s more like old-fashioned waterfall than anything else.

I’ve had a few discussions revolving around development methodologies but there is nothing except anti-sentiment and near resentment for even bringing up any way to do things better! What’s the deal?

Why is it so hard for people to even consider trying it or even spending a couple lunches doing some practice exercises?

I guarantee it’s what they want. They just don’t know it.
