> The agile manifesto was in fact drafted by software developers Really? When I look at the list of authors of the Agile Manifesto, I recognize several names as belonging to people who have made a career out of coaching and advising. Several of those people made their careers by bragging about their involvement in a catastrophic failure. I mean, they're probably all better software developers than I am. But I think that sytelus's description seems to be right on, at least for many of the Agile Manifesto authors.
