Agile: Hype or Hope
[MP4, 27 minutes]
Agile approaches to software development are a hot topic. But how much is just hype? What are the good ideas, and what are the bad ones? In this podcast, I explain where agile came from, what its key ideas are, and then -- based on a new book by Bertrand Meyer -- explain why some are worth adopting and some are not. [November 2014]
