No silver bullet was published 1986 advocating for incremental software development. Feedback cycles in development were always a target for optimization, but often had technological roadblocks.

That looked a lot more like Spiral development. Think about 3 month iterations where the design docs are built and approved before software development begins. It's a bunch of mini-waterfalls.
