Agile Methods in System Administration?

Posted by Cliff on from the practices-in-motion dept.

sta asks: "Agile methodologies focusing on development techniques and approaches abound, many of which at the very least give food for thought. I have been in constant discussion with our dev manager about agile approaches and their extension to the systems administration world. Can agile methods and the agile mind set be applied to the systems administration world? Does systems administration rely on policy and procedure for it's integrity and reliability or is that just an ingrained habit? There appear to be a number of administrative tools that claim agility but are there any established agile methodologies?"

    Haahahaaha. If you don't mind I'll use that as my new sig. Unfortunately it's a few characters too long to add your nick, so your ID will have to do. If you do mind, don't hesitate to set a copyright lawyer on me and I'll remove it stat.

    I tried that, but apparently HTML counts toward the number of characters you can use.
