[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]people who drank the “agile” kool-aid cannot be saved. best to just ignore them and focus on getting things done…[/quote]

on my first job out of school i built tax software using Fortran on IBM 370 mainframes.

our managers were technical , and the company had developed a system in which, regression tests ran every night on code that was checked in.  for each days changes, they were put on a virtual disk and that disk was moved forward in the rotation, so that after a week, the code would automatically be deployed to Production.

it was agile but never called that.

the concepts of ...

- small incremental development over waterfall development
- automate regression tests and deployment scripts
- constant incremental deployments to production

are sound and good,  no matter what they are called.

the problem with Agile is a lot of non-technical MBA types got involved and forgot the core values because they never developed a single line of code. [/quote]
