Why might that be? Maybe it’s true that for some organisations Prince2 or PMBOK, or Scrum are absolutely the right choices. Maybe for a certain organisation .net is the way to go or Java, or Ruby on Rails. Perhaps your organisation captures requirements in natural language, or with use cases, or in user stories and that works fine for you. Probably every organisation in the world uses software, but for some software is the centre of their universe and for others it is a support function."<br /><br />I went on to develop the idea at masterstoryteller.co.uk. I'd love to have your views...<br /><br />Yours<br /><br />Peter Merrick Ph.DPeter Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355311330844709727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491762.post-86045078976089356722009-12-21T08:46:58.735-05:002009-12-21T08:46:58.735-05:00Hi Jeff,

That 37% are using time-boxes, but only to increment, and that they never iterate to revisit functionality to improve it.<br /><br />For me, iteration and time-boxing are different things.<br /><br />KarlKarl Scotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425175609057490553noreply@blogger.com
