The key tenant to agile is built in 'tolerance' for change in resource and scope with emphasis on pipeline management instead of scheduling.
The reason why classic forms of development fail is because these issues (changes) were the exception instead of the rule in methodologies leading up to the 'agile' generation
- TeMPOraL 15y agoFrom my (little) experience and reading I've done so far, if I had to sum up what 'agile' is, I'd say: 'feedback'. I'm not surprised that 'waterfall' methodologies fail - they seem to have little to no feedback built in. And for what I remember from Control Theory course, feedback is essential to control a system we don't have full knowledge about. I do believe that it's a more general principle than just about differential equations and integration.
