Pliant Development: Don't Do It

In All Fairness

Posted in Main by tbeck on June 9th, 2006.

Just so we don’t get accused of being complete snotty Agile bashers, I wanted to point out this page on the XP website. It basically says what PSD says, which is to fix the process when it is broken and improve the way software is being developed.

So this is a bit of a conundrum. If the XP website itself has some pliant leanings, why has XP, along with the other Agile processes gotten so many people frustrated? Has agile become the victim of book sellers and process consultants? Is it the monetization of the process(es) that has led “agile” to mean something completely different than what was originally intended? And if so, how could we have let this happen?
