If your
organization is basically cranking out code without any planning and without any
documentation, you are not Agile. You are hackers. Other criticisms of Agile are
that the methods lack structure, do not produce necessary documentation, require
senior-level staffi ng, do not produce suffi cient design architectures, are diffi cult to
manage at a contract level, and place too much of a cultural-change burden on an
organization. Each of these criticisms can be argued, as each has some degree of
truth. But remember, all software development projects require talented personnel,
all organizations undergo culture change, all software projects must be managed
correctly, and all projects produce some sort of documentation somewhere for
something.
We believe the value from Agile Methods can only be obtained through disciplined
use. Our clients have found that using CMMI and Scrum together result
Agile and the CMMI n 347
in significantly improved performance while maintaining CMMI compliance. For
Agile companies, we believe that using CMMI to institutionalize Agile practices is
a big plus over undisciplined hacking.
