> If anything, I think they [waterfalls] were too disciplined. I am not sure what "disciplined" means in this case.
Clearly they were too sequential... teams need the feedback that comes from synchronizing needs, designs, tests, and products. Esp. in a new area like SOA staying in synch with real feedback is critical. Clearly however the agile approaches are more disciplined in the sense that they recommend test-first, automate everything possible, and engineer your requirements into an ongoing stream of similar-sized work packets. None of the other approaches I am familiar with go into as much detail. All these lend themselves to an agile enterprise, and it is difficult to imagine how to become agile without them. -Patrick ------------------------ Yahoo!
