in thread Nobody Expects the Agile Imposition (Part VIII): Software Craftsmanship

Divorce from bureaucracy is something that is made possible. An attempt to de-assembly-line an industry that cannot possibly work to its potential under that idiom; I know that you know this. In most corporate workplaces getting away from illogical or arbitrary and centralized process is pure fantasy and that very power structure is what is likely to scuttle any good practice and dress it the same chains as the same-old, same-old.

Regarding your other reply: hearing about something obviously doesn’t make it good either. I’ve heard little but “Six Sigma” for 15 years for example.

    Eons ago, we had a presentation by Motorola on Six Sigma. When they were done, we ask them, "What does Motorola stand for?". We got blank stares. For us, it was easy and was also on our business cards, "The finest in family entertainment".
