As a last ditch attempt to rid his house of the unwanted guests he placed a boom box in the attic and blasted Metallica at full volume and then left the house.

The software industry might be the world’s greatest breeding ground for new systems of management. From Agile, to Extreme Programming , to Test Driven Development (TDD), the acronyms and frameworks keep piling up. Why? Some say it’s immaturity: that software is still a young industry and all the change is the path to some true fundamentals. Others say it’s because software...
