> Though I'd love the idea of a methodology race, where the fittest win. Wonder if there ever is an organization open minded enough to try this... Every organization does that, to a degree, unknowingly. I know a (secret, undisclosed) organization where we (er, they!) do Scrum but if you analyzed what the teams actually do you probably wouldn't guess they follow anything resembling a single recipe :) Curiously it seems to support the thesis of the article. I believe that all of the teams have some sort of a backlog and focus on making it good. The difference is that while the author strikes "prioritized" we, the devs, are more focused on "well specified".
