Agile , Tacit and Web 2.0

December 22, 2007 by pinastro

I have consolidated some good definitions and principles on the topics Agile Development / Tacit Knowledge / Web 2.0

What Wikipedia says about Tacit Knowledge :

" ...Tacit knowledge is knowledge that people carry in their minds of people and is, therefore, difficult to access. Often, people are not aware of the knowledge they possess or how it can be valuable to others. Tacit knowledge is considered more valuable because it provides context for people, places, ideas, and experiences. Effective transfer of tacit knowledge generally requires extensive personal contact and trust.

Tacit knowledge is not easily shared. One of Polanyi's famous aphorisms is: "We know more than we can tell." ... "

Agile Manifesto Says :
"..We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more .. "

Web 2.0 principles says:

"...web 2.0 is sometimes called the e-Democracy which has the 'architechture of participation' as the base..."

Does the above words have any relationships within them ?

Please give your commments and thoughts on it ...
