Very true. But should probably be "an expedition".

Time to move to Agile.

This is by far the simplest explanation of the major drawbacks in Waterfall model. :D

I love these cartoons and share them in my Java, Design Pattern and Refactoring seminars. Brilliant!
I'm British but live in Germany, and a couple of times I've noticed Germansisms like "The God" and "The time" where a native speaker wouldn't use an article.
With this hilarious "Waterful" cartoon I would like to confirm Pascal's comment that "an expedition" is correct and reads better. Also, "6 months drawing the maps" slips unimpeded into an English brain. Sorry I'm being so picky, but I _am_ a programmer, and I stumble over these minor imperfections which detracts from my otherwise very great enjoyment of the site.
BTW for German speakers: a proof that there is a God is that "Wasserfall Projekt" and "Es geht den Bach runter" are linguistically and semantically so similar. Can't think of a good idiom in English. Pity.
All the best and many thanks to whoever you are.
