I like the analogies you have used.
I...Nice post. I like the analogies you have used. <br /><br />In principle first part of your summarization is correct. Let me repeat it here for readability. You say that, "the lighter the tool and methodology, the greater is the (maturity and) discipline needed from the development team to be successful" This I agree with.<br /><br />However second part of your summary which is, "else, it will not all come together when you want it to and in a manner you want it to" is not entirely accurate. <br /><br />Agile by design promotes activities (daily SCRUM, pair programming, frequent releases, customer proximity) that give you the early and often feedback needed to do course correction. So even if a group is lacking the "discipline" they will not go off track in the end. Meaning you would corrected the course well before the final delivery of your software.Suhas Kelkarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06899966745222869631noreply@blogger.com
