So today we discussed the Agile approach to implementing software. I thought this would be the easiest part of the entire 2 day workshop. Egad... nothing of the sort. The vendor didn't demonstrate a passion towards this approach. I use the word passion because I don't want anyone to think that they weren't willing to consider the methodology.
The customers interest was to have fixed incremental delivery of value, that the business user could touch. Doing so would lead their end users down the path towards acceptance in a timely manner.
The vendor seemed to feel that it would be difficult to stay fixed to a 30 day incremental release as it would be difficult to package subsets of their system modules. They did admit that the business users like to test the modules in lieu of their business processes, and as such, do require only a fragment of the entire module as a result.
The end result - you tell me... have you encountered a similiar experience?
