Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Government contractors use a new form of the Agile methods.

I have met an ever increasing government contractors who claim to use a method they call Agile Lite. This is quite simple. The government official who directs the contractor tells them:

(1) Tell everyone that you are doing Agile.

(2) Every day, do what ever I tell you to do that day. And I change my mind often.

Only in government. It would be funny if it weren’t taxpayers’ money being wasted.
