Microsoft Lauds Scrum

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sounds-like-fightin-words-to-me dept.

under_score writes "According to eWeek.com Microsoft is adopting the agile methodology called Scrum to get software built faster. Is it working? They seem to be claiming that Scrum and Extreme Programming have helped them get recent releases such as SQLServer out the door faster with better quality. Many other large organizations are also adopting agile methods including Yahoo, and Google. Are agile methods the next big thing in software development?"

    Almost no software is bug-free. It's just that MS software has more bugs than most other software companies.

    And correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the iBook's logic board problems more the fault of the company that actually made the logic board? Sure, Apple makes the iBook but they use other companies' parts - they'd have to be insane to build their own processors or GPUs when there are already plenty of great ones out on the market.
