I know :) But people did take agile to an extreme and they did forego the essence of other processes. I feel that the line "everything in moderation" applies well to project management. Moderation being the key part.

The extremes were bad, not the essence of the idea. Stay lightweight and you can have the best of everything. When anything is non-trivial to implement, i.e. it has dependencies, then it benefits from _some_ waterfall planning. Meaning to t

For a company to be a Platinum Partner you'd need so many points, and the points are calculated by looking at how many of your people have which certs. Which certs were needed varied on which company you wanted to partner with. Microso

A PR is a gift and a burden. A gift of someone else's effort to contribute and push something forward. A burden because once received, future maintainance of the gift is really on the one who received the gift. It may as well be the gi
