Dave Nicolette compares agile maturity to a marathon. I’m not crazy about the analogy, but he does put down some levels of agile that are reasonable. Before you can move on to the next level you should have a firm base to stand on, where most things are implemented and understood on the previous level.
Level one is within reach I guess, but we need to keep a steady eye on the horizon to keep on advancing.
Alright, too busy to write much as usual, but some good points in Mike Polen’s post that summarizes a talk by Jim Shore. Got it via Ole Mortens blog that does a decent job of bulletizing it all. 😉
Johannes Brodwall has a good article about SOA and what it claims to deliver. They claims are appealing theories, it’s just too bad it’s doesn’t work. The only thing I wish to extract and use from SOA is the governance, but you don’t need an ESB to do that. 🙂
