I think OP heavily overestimates the organisational praxis in other disciplines. Nearly every creative discipline I was ever in was largely purely ad-hoc with very little explicitly stated organisational approaches to the craft. Academia, movie and music production, and creative writing for instance have much less readily-available principles than software.
Software is probably the most thought about creative industry I can think off in modern history.
- JoeyJoJoJr 6y agoI think the software industry could learn a lot from the collaborative attitudes and approaches employed in the more typically creative industries. Those industries you mentioned may not have as many formalised principles, yet collaboration is so imbued into the process that it naturally lends itself to large scale creations.
