> Do it (right, right now). Forget about documentation, big analysis, big plans. Just do it, do it now, do it right. That's just plain wrong; it's a gross misinterpretation of the Agile Manifesto. The Manifesto doesn't say "ditch documentation and planning", it just says that Working Software and Responding to Change should be regarded as more important. Jim Highsmith tries to clear it up (+): "The Agile movement is not anti-methodology, in fact, many of us want to restore credibility to the word methodology. We want to restore a balance. We embrace modeling, but not in order to file some diagram in a dusty corporate repository. We embrace documentation, but not hundreds of pages of never-maintained and rarely-used tomes. We plan, but recognize the limits of planning in a turbulent environment." (+) http://agilemanifesto.org/history.html http://agilemanifesto.org/history.html
