You left out #0, which is "Knowing what to build." I suppose discovering that is in the realm of #4. Hm.

  No, discovering that is market research. I don't see how McMethodologies help there.

    That sounds like an assumption that everyone's in the business of selling software. I'm certainly not.

      Are you in the business of writing software that never gets used? I have, and I hated it. Quick feedback means quickly finding out if you're building the right thing.

        Quick feedback means quickly finding out if you're building the right thing. I agree. That's why I use a development process that encourages quick feedback. I don't consider that market research because I'm not out looking for customers to give me money in exchange for a DVD full of software. I'm sitting down with the person who hired me and demonstrating what I've done in the past week or two.
