Hell Yeah!
The 50 Who Matter Now - Agile Software Development (33) - Business 2.0Why it matters: It started as a rebellion against overwrought, Dilbert-style software development projects. Today the set of practices known as agile software development is reshaping the way coders and entrepreneurs create Web-based services.Agile teams work very quickly -- sometimes in as little as a week -- to create small chunks of code. Once a component is finished, additional features are added, with the process repeating indefinitely. Agile also has a reputation for enabling managers to deliver products on time and under budget, which helps explain why it has become a methodology of choice at companies like Google and Lockheed Martin.
You're damn right. Agile is gaining some notiriety. Now if I can only get my bosses to notice I could make some progress. Any way, get your tickets for Agile 2007 in D.C. I'm going.

Rock on! Thanks for the pointer. I was thinking about you the other day when dwelling on some questions of what sorts of incentives would encourage individuals to adopt processes like pair programming and test driven design. If I find the time you'll hear more from me on this :-).
