It's not just software. All business processes have been undergoing change from top-down to bottom-up processes as people realize those companies which allow good ideas to percolate from the bottom win in the marketplace. The driver here is the internet. It used to be the case that you didn't come into contact with good or bad practices except by working in a place they were applied, but the internet ensures everyone can now read online what works and what doesn't.
- walshemj 13y agoI think your looking at the internet with rose tinted glasses business practices go in and out of fashion and some times back into fashion again. I directly saw this as I worked on the BS5750 standard and saw the rise and fall of TQM I think you will find that in traditional engineering does stick closer to traditional project planning PERT/TQM and so on as its a lot more embarrassing and costly if a bridge falls down :-) Its also a lot easier to do in manufacturing is easy you can measure the tolerances on a piston on an engine line and flag thats a defect or not - much harder to do in software.
