12 days to go -- Metta retreat »
Processes and methodologies are all
the rave in IT. Coming from a RAD Domino background a lot of the process
steps feel quite overloaded (what the heck is a build and integration test,
when I just click save on my form? - Don't tell me, J/Nunit and (N)ant
are my friend). I finally found a methodology, that seems well fit for
Domino projects. It is called Crystal Clear and is described by Alistair
Cockburn is his book "Crystal
Clear".
Crystal Clear requires 7 properties
of which 3 are mandatory. It is a methodology light on processes and big
on principles. Alistair clearly highlights, that process is never
a guarantee for success, it is *skilfulness* that will make your day. Processes
only emphasise your skill levels, so if your skills are lousy process will
make the result *very* lousy.
Go try it.
