Agileness
Note: What follows is an exact replica of from a blog by zx. With some additional garam masala added for loads of fun.
I had a Dilbert moment today.
There’s been a lot of talk about agile software development recently like it’s something Prometheus stole from the Gods and bestowed it upon us mere mortals.
In my opinion, it’s the relationships and trust between people that build great software; not some process that organizations recruit highly paid consultants to teach them about.
Pun intended 
The idea of writing the agile manifesto is, in my opinion to “fight back when a process tries to take control of your enterprise.”
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
I agree with Nick to some extent. The problem with software is people, and miscommunication between people, about (err…) processes, among other things.
