A Fully Buzzword-Compliant Development Blog Post

I counted:

Chief Process Scientist; strategic partnership; change management consulting services; vision; Software OnDemand; business model; outsourcing; play; Lean; business agility; pull based near/on-shore outsourcing model; software engineering value chain; maturity; thought leader; scale; craft based labor-arbitrage outsource businesses; Lean Thinking; Software Factories; orders of magnitude improvement

Did I miss any?

I look forward to "Software Factories" and the "pull based near/on-shore outsourcing model" to lead the next wave of failed consulting projects, continuing to leave the market open for those of us who still practice "craft-based development" and actually build full, polished applications that work.

Feels like reading a lisp function (in isolation). Each of those tokens might be a function with real power behind it, or the whole function might just end up printing "Hello World".

Ya, it comes across like that. David Anderson is super-smart though. He's brought a lot of original thought to _how_ to do software development for large development teams. His ideas scale down. I've used a lot of his ideas for groups in the 10-20 ppl range. His thoughts on using kanban systems have really worked well.

He is a controversial person in the Agile community.

That's surprisingly light on information. The hyperlinks possibly have more information than the words.
