[QUOTE="DWSmith, post: 570555, member: 5102"] Bob, Your take on it is pretty much on the mark with what I've seen. It's not a single method but an attempt to encompass as many practices as possible and lump them into a pile called Agile. I've been in software development for nearly 45 years and I have yet to see anything new in Agile except for some new tools. I've seen ways of doing things that were around 30+ years ago. I think it's another fad that management has adopted thinking it's the proverbial silver bullet to solve all of their problems. I'm not saying it won't work. I'm saying that pieces/parts of it have always worked, some company has come along and claimed those pieces and parts to be under the Agile umbrella, and now they're selling certifications, training, and consulting services to help companies adopt the Agile 'package of goods'. Even some of those who were involved in writing the Manifesto of Agile Software Development are claiming shady intentions. Thanks for your post! [/QUOTE]
