The Hidden Truth about Agile Development

🔍 Agile development is criticized as a scam for financial gain.

💰 The speaker shares their experience with different models of building SAS companies.

👨‍💻 The waterfall development method is discussed as an alternative to Agile.

💼 Agile development allows for flexibility in software development by working on an hourly rate.

💸 However, Agile development can lead to overspending as initial features are often forgotten.

💰 In contrast, waterfall development involves a fixed payment for a specific piece of software.

🔑 Waterfall development is a better approach than agile development as it avoids software bloat and leads to more stable products.

💰 By following the waterfall development model and reducing features, the cost of development can be significantly decreased.

🐞 Contrary to the belief that full-time development teams reduce bugs, waterfall development has proven to produce more reliable software.

🎯 Instead of agile development, focus on waterfall development to build the cheapest version of your product.

💰 Create a scaled-down version of your product that can be sold as a standalone service for a lower cost.

🚀 Market and sell the minimal viable product (MVP) until it generates a consistent monthly revenue of at least $10,000.

💰 The video discusses the concept of Agile Development and how it can be misleading in terms of cost-effectiveness.

🎥 Using a specific example of a SAS like Wistia, the video explains how opting for such services can be more cost-effective compared to hosting videos on one's own website.

⚖️ The key point emphasized is that a successful SAS needs to offer users more value or savings than what they pay for it on a monthly basis.

💰 Building a SAS can be more cost-effective for customers than building it themselves.

💡 The MVP of a SAS should provide value to users and save or make them money.

🔑 To guarantee success, focus on building a profitable product that customers actually want to pay for.

💡 Building valuable software is crucial for the success of software companies.

💰 Profitability is a key consideration in software development to avoid excessive costs.
