> Is this a wider issue with software development in general? My guess is that many businesses are moving away from the waterful model, which can often go overboard with planning (not really a problem in aerospace..). To 'Agile', which I don't think many people truly understand (especially some managers), often sidestepping the planning and documentation to software that appears to work fine, and senior management are overjoyed with the progress and become complacent. I think this is a good point on why Agile is so dangerous to the users. Agile allows for engineering to be micromanaged and due diligence from engineers to be overlooked. (It's not something the business people care about) Don't deliver without the safety feature? Well, you're underperforming... they're going to be let go pretty quickly.
