Interested in Agile methods?

Do you want to get the best out of your team? Agile methodologies combined with well-known best practices will be the answer.

Agile is all about people, people who really know how to get their jobs done. But there's also something to keep in mind which sits down on the core of the business: agile best practices are all about being able to adapt to change, and this has a lot to do with economics.

Look at the image above. The graphic on the left was introduced by Barry Boehm back on 1981. It has been one of the most influential mind settings for software developers on the last decades. It really created an upfront way of thinking, making a lot of developers grow up thinking requirements must be frozen.

On November 2007 in a meeting celebrating Peopleware's 20th anniversary (the article was published on IEEE Software), a group of inspiring software gurus, including Boehm, admited that the "evil curve" is not anymore true for teams using the right methods and best practices.

Beck drew the graphic on the right on 2002. If you implement the right best practices, you'll keep your software ready to change, and it really has a deep impact on company's economics.

Let's see how SCM can help here.
