Jubiläum: 40 Jahre Mondlandung
Heute vor vierzig Jahren war es soweit: “The Eagle has landed!”
Ich kann mich noch gut erinnern, wie die ganze Familie Bolli bei unseren Nachbarn Bühlmanns in der Stube sass und alle gebannt die Live-Reportage verfolgten. Ich durfte bis ca. 2 Uhr wach bleiben (hey, ich war erst 6 Jahre alt!), bis Neil Armstrong endlich mit beiden Füssen auf dem Mond stand.

eagle has landed
A quote from Tom DeMarco
So, how do you manage a project without controlling it? Well, you manage the people and control the time and money. You say to your team leads, for example,
“I have a finish date in mind, and I’m not even going to share it with you. When I come in one day and tell you the project will end in one week, you have to be ready to package up and deliver what you’ve got as the final product. Your job is to go about the project incrementally, adding pieces to the whole in the order of their relative value, and doing integration and documentation and acceptance testing as you go.”
This might sound like an agile-methods prescription, but I’m too far away today from the actual building of software to recommend at the methods level. Rather, I’m advocating a management approach, one that might well steer the team toward agile methods, at least toward the incremental aspects of the agile school.
