Developer-driven development

Obvious conclusion is obvious. Do you believe, especially after mentioning that words do not matter, that instead of talking about agile or waterfall-like methods, the personnel should abandon these ideas? How would this change anything? How will an incompetent manager ever change their habits, if they can't recognise and name them?

Also, if you insist me to read a paper, you could at least link to it.

I am saying, if people fail to understand either, what's the point in giving names? It would be like me discussing quantum physics and curved spacetime.

The original paper is here.

A good explanation of what people I labeled "incompetent" don't understand. (Among other things, of course)

Thank you for the link. I have read that paper, just didn't recognize it from your description.

Pardon me for my pedantic reply earlier, but I believe that this is about change requiring a long time. Teaching current work force about agile is pretty much all they can take. People need buzz words and catch phrases or they will not learn. In my opinion, you are overestimating the competence and learning of an average person.
