Agility and discipline: These apparently opposite attributes are,
in fact, complementary values in software development. Plan-driven
developers must also be agile; nimble developers must
also be disciplined. The key to success is
finding the right balance between the two, which
will vary from project to project according to
the circumstances and risks involved. Developers, pulled toward
opposite ends by impassioned arguments, must learn how
to give each value its due in their
particular situations.
The authors of Balancing Agility and Discipline
expose the bureaucracy & stagnation that mark discipline
without agility, and liken agility without discipline to
fruitless enthusiasm. Using a day in the life
of two development teams & case studies, they
illustrate the differences & similarities between agile and
plan-driven methods, and show that the best development
strategies have ways to combine both attributes.
