RE: Re: Sticking point

Andrey,

I can determine what is appropriate for our project through sheer
intellect. I and our staff can evaluate our environment, ask what
process would benefit from improvement, what process are constrained by
external regulations, what XP practices have worked in similar
environments (aerospace, government, high ceremony departments). Unlike
a private small entrepreneurial firm we do have the luxury to
"experiment" on others peoples money, so another approach is needed to
deploy process improvement processes.

Our sources for these decisions include local SPINS, XP Denver members,
neighboring business that focus on software process improvement,
conference proceedings, IEEE and ACM papers and articles, managers how
have worked in XP environments, deployed XP into telecom environments
etc. etc. etc.

[>] If you read "I can but I won't" you are correct. I won't, can't,
prevented from doing ... because of the work environment boundaries of a
federal agency contract.
