Get Agile... The Script Part 3

waterfall: just a little planning. we have three development teams. We should have the initial design in four months, three days, and 14 minutes. It used to take us six months...

agile: that's pretty good planning, we build software in short cycles, so we can learn and adapt...

Waterfall: ok i have to go now, i need a meeting to plan our meetings...

Get Agile... The Script Part 2

agile: really, i just started new project with my customer,

we made some sketches on the white board...

and we came up with a quick prototype

pulls out a hand drill, brrr, brrr

agile: What's that...

waterfall: Oh, its our requirements tool, its pretty neat, you can drill down 12 levels deep. It automatically generates three binders so we can be CMM Level One Certified.

agile: that sounds like fun...

agile: what's are you doing now?

"It automatically generates three binders so we can be CMM Level One Certified."

If that was the case (automatically generated), I wouldn't mind CMM half as much.
