Not sure how well this theory applies to the real world. I run a simulation by creating 1.2 million random numbers in the range 1-99999 in excel and then analyzed the first digit (1-9) frequency. I ended up with about 11% for each digit, totally different than what Benford's law suggested. Am I doin...

Thanks TommyD. I first need to get comfortable with Agile/Scrum, before I move beyond it

Thanks. I see the three areas that are being addressed by the triangle's points and it makes sense, but how/why is it always being used to demonstrate the differences between Waterfall and Agile? That's the part I'm having a hard time figuring out.

Can anyone suggest some good books on Agile (and may be Scrum)? I have downloaded and reviewed a whole bunch of PDFs and find them useful, but I'm one of those people that likes the feel of a real book.

Ah, I see. Thanks Bill for the quick response.

I have also seen a lot of references to "avoiding glutony", when people are talking about the advantages to agile. Can anyone here shed some light?

As I am reading more and more about Agile, I see a lot of references regarding the agile triangle. What is it and does it really help in planning projects in an agile manner?

As we review the options available to us, Scrum seems to be the best Agile process we may want to go with. However, I have a big problem with the frequent mentions (in everything I read) that Scrum don't have a project manager. How can you see a project to completion with nobody being responsible fo...

O.K., as I mentioned earlier and after reading a bit on the different processes, I think I can ask some more specific questions. Here is one that comes to mind. Can we use traditional developers on Agile projects? If so, do they need significant re-training? And, what Agile process would it be easie...

When I asked what methodology to use, I didn't meat to start a long term argument. I appreciate all the information being posted here, but I am having a hard time deciphering as to what methodology we should be using. I've been reading on Agile and it seems to be a good methodology to use for "...

There are probably many lists of what people consider Agile processes, on the web, and not everyone agrees, but here is *my* list. The (*1/2*) notation means that these processes are considered by some/many "Semi-Agile". Scrum Adaptive Software Development (ASD) Crystal Methods (Crystal C...

Well, now that the admin created this new section, I get to re-ask the question. What methodology should we use as we are updating our old suite of products. Also, if whoever answers can give some reasons!!!

Thank you

BTW, I *just* sent a message to the moderator asking that they set-up a section for programming/software on this forum. You may also want to do the same, so we can convince them to do so!

I have seen and read all this "general" talks about agile, and I have been scouring the web to become a bit more informed about it. It really isn't all that pretty all the time. Since I have no direct experience with it, I rely on what others say... http://programmers.stackexchange.com/que...

Wow, I didn't mean to start a big controversy :-) I think it's silly because of what I've heard about it, I am not really familiar with it - you are right, I should not be so quick to opine. It just sounds to me like everything else these days, that we have to be warm and nice and play like a team a...
