It's worth pointing out that there are quite a few organizations that have traditional software processes that are effective and efficient. It's interesting to wonder whether some of the perceived success of the agile methods is due to their replacing chaos with an approach that they can pick up faster than traditional methods. That is, I wonder if an organization with a mature software process would gain as much from agile methods, or whether some significant part of the gain is from process maturity. Put another way, what part of agile methods' benefits come from the methods themselves and what part from the fact that they are easy to learn (compared to traditional methods that have an extended institutionalization period). scott -- scott preece motorola urbana design center (il67), 1800 s. oak st., champaign, il 61820 e-mail: [email protected] fax: 217-384-8550 phone: 217-384-8589 cell: 217-433-6114 pager: [email protected] For more information about AM, visit the Agile Modeling Home Page at www.agilemodeling.com --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrKDA.bWnbtk.Z2NtYS1h Or send an email to: [email protected] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
