All, I've gotten some second-hand data on Agile being used successfully on applications in the 20,000 function point size range, but I have not verified it. ...

Putcha, Here in the U.S. the number of companies at CMM level 3 is about 10 times larger than the number of companies that use ISO quality standards. My book,...
Team: Fact: Agile methodologies may work on small projects with small teams, and not so well on big projects. Fact: Refactoring is nice when systems...
Tyson, Let me define machine first and then methodology of making a machine in a larger context. Alarm clock and airpline are both mechnical systems (machines...
Bill, Yes they are facts in software engineering todaybut may not be in near future. One known fact of software engineering as recognized in academics...
Bill, Did you mean that different divisions in your firmare rated at different levels? You mentioned both AS-9100 (I am not familiar with) and CMMI. Are...
Bill - I agree that Agile works well on small projects, not so well on big ones. (This is why I believe that you have to pick the right methodology for what...
Jerry - (We've drifted into a different subject, so I changed the thread title.) You are defining "methodology" at such a high level that it really doesn't...
Jerry, Having spent the last 5 years helping the US DoD acquire the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (Lightning II), I can say from direct experience that a modern...
Dear Donald Firesmith: Your posts have some distinction. Now I have come to know the reason. Direct first hand experience and the need to really work...
Putcha, You have put your finger on the key challenge of situational method engineering. Based on the large number of factors that should influence our choice,...
Dear Jerry: I am glad that our discussion is converging, though not meeting at a point! Now we can get back to the group. Dear Members of Req Engg Group I have...
Tyson, Your ballance of features, resources, and quality is quite different from what Deminig's miracle: you can achieve better, cheaper and faster all at the...
Pucha, I highly recommend to read below article to understand what is requirement, analysis, design, and implmentation in software engineering and comparision...
Hi Don The issue you addressed maybe better studied by looking at philosophy of technology by Dr. Kroes. Also philosophy of ontoloty, simplicity and...
Donald Thank you for your in-depth and comprehensive response. The various aspects mentioned in the excerpt from the new book are very relevant for any...
Jerry, The OPEN Process Framework (and MFESA) make a clear distinction between what we call process (what is actually is performed and produced in the real...
Byron, I am not sure if we are in violent agreement or not. It is exactly the variability of these “facets” (parameters) which determine which situation...
Don, OK, now I know what you meant and there are similarities and differences between us. We are pretty similar at methodology layer. My methodology layer is...
Deming's miracle was addressing situations with low quality. There is an upper limit to getting better, cheaper, faster all together. Eventually, there will ...
Most of the time as it is now is in trade off state. Eventually we will reach to better, cheaper and faster all at the same. Even that happens, it won't last...
Jerry - I'd definitely be interested in reading your papers. Please forward them to: bpkcjgorr@... ... quote is not clear where it finishes. ... doing...
Jerry, I think your analogy to swimming is accurate in the application to one site/project. It is my understanding that maturity levels are not to all...
Jerry: AS-9100 is the quality system model underlying ourCMMI software process. Yes, there is but a single quality system and process that is almost...
James, Organizations, not projects, are rated. It implies that all projects should be CMMI compliant. If only focus projects are decorated CMMI way, and all...
... Jerry - I'd definitely be interested in reading your papers. Please forward them to: bpkcjgorr@yahoo. com Byron, I just pasted it here below. I have lots...
