Are you using Agile methods? If so, do you model?

Are you using Agile methods? If so, do you model? Does modeling work in an agile environment? Are models effective when dealing with clients in an agile context?

As part of a research effort supported by the Agile Alliance's Academic Research Program, we are investigating whether (and how well) software development models work in agile environments. If you have experience or would like to provide a point of view with respect to modeling in any agile environment, we would like to hear from you. You can complete the questions pertinent to you and/or provide your opinion on this topic at

Waterfall in schools

April 23, 2006 by Artem

Grig Gheorghiu tells about the funny experience of interviewing the graduates for a QA position. All of the candidates have been taught only a waterfall method.

He said they spent a lot of time writing design documents, and since they *only* had one semester for the whole project, they almost didn't get to code at all. I couldn't help laughing at that point, and I told him that maybe that should have been a red flag concerning the validity of the Waterfall methodology.
