I have noticed that in big businesses (at least the many that I have been associated with) management sees agile methodologies as a "gimmick" used to keep the masses happy. Rarely have I seen it work from the bottom up (or top down, however you'd like to look at it). Although the article didn't specifically call what they are doing "agile" it seems like the spirit of the methodology. It's really nice to see a company that embraces that sort of working methodology and uses it to be successful. I would be interested to see if they find their environment to be less stressful as well. I wonder what it would be like if every company trusted their employees to do what was best for their company and then empowered them to actually fulfil their vision.
