Agile Bridge Analogy

Posted on 28th July 2008 by Nio in 程序人生

Agile Bridge Analogy,很有意思的文章,类比桥梁建筑来讲解敏捷开发,通俗易懂,值得推广。

It is quite common to make analogies between the IT industry and Civil engineering. Developers often compare software development and design with construction projects; for example, the importance of having a blueprint and following known successful practices. I have some hesitations about using analogies between these industries. I find the resources used by both industries fairly different and for that reason the analogies can create false expectations and reasoning. Nevertheless, I have been successfully using the analogy of building a bridge for explaining Agile development.
