I agree with the general principles of agile development, and I find them quite useful in my work. However, my interactions with the authors and proponents of the manifesto have left me feeling as though I had engaged in a religious debate. I get the sense that these individuals are so wedded to their views so as to be totally closed to anything different. It is thus not surprising that they would be against changing their principles. After all, if something is free to change, it implies it may be wrong.<BR/><BR/>I'm reminded of the philosophy of Karl Popper. I'm paraphrasing, but he essentially said that science is that which lies between contradiction and tautology. The former is illogical, and the latter is bigoted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
