Good news everyone! My magnum opus on Scrum just dropped, clocking in at almost 9K words! Prepare a drink, strap yourselves in, and enter the Torment Nexus.

@ludicity Highly enjoyable read until I read this #FacePalm, "I like the principles enough that our consultancy is current leaning heavily towards adopting Extreme Programming practices." You're heading away from silly nouns toward cutesy acronyms, again with very little supporting evidence behind them.
A good book on exploring process is Applied Software Measurement by Capers Jones to see how much choice is based upon type of development and size of project.
@lwriemen I dunno, evidence in every domain seems like it's for nerds. We just know some programmers that inspire us, who have very successful businesses in a similar space, that swear by Extreme Programming.
The dominating factor is that our team is very strong, so the details mostly don't matter. The main selling point of XP is that I enjoy what I've read of Kent Beck's work. There are probably many other configurations that work, but quality of material in the space is important.
@ludicity Stumbled across this today that clarifies much of my views on software better than I can.

Contrary to the website source, the interview isn't an agile praise fest.
