Projects, Projects…..

I was reading Agile Software Development with Scrum last night and I couldn’t believe the common sense it made me realize. Sometimes you need a good swift roundhouse kick to the face before you get it. We in software development are always talking about “if anything can go wrong, it will” It’s completely unpredictable. Yet, we constantly try to apply these waterfall models where we design, design, design, define work breakdowns of defined inputs, expecting for the right outputs at the right times, and that is NEVER who it turns out.

We try to apply a predictable process to an unpredictable deliverable which is ever changing in requirements.

We must as software engineers adopt a more agile model just to deal with the very nature of what we are building.

Thoughts? I know no one reads this, but surprise me.
