As we have cited often in this book, if you don??™t use the documentation
you wrote, then you don??™t have any documentation. And we would also ask,
???Why did you bother to write documentation that you have no intention of using????
We know why. Because it is hard to write something simple and straightforward,
and easy to write something complicated and dense. (We know. We have done it
ourselves and greatly struggled with this book to keep it simple when discussing
diffi cult concepts.) We have tried to stress that you write documentation that you
need and use. Other criticisms of the CMMI approach is that CMMI is often misunderstood
as being strictly used in large, Department of Defense developments
that take years, require massive documentation, require many layers of personnel,
and use a rigid waterfall system development life cycle. Regarding Agile, we have all
heard Agile Methods described by some as just another disguise for undisciplined
hacking or by others as ???we don??™t document.??? We know that this is not true.
