Comments on: Why I Fell in Love With Agile http://www.claytonlz.com/index.php/2009/03/why-i-fell-in-love-with-agile/ Ruby on Rails Developer Sat, 28 Aug 2010 16:06:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Clayton http://www.claytonlz.com/index.php/2009/03/why-i-fell-in-love-with-agile/comment-page-1/#comment-607 Clayton Sun, 29 Mar 2009 18:09:47 +0000 http://www.claytonlz.com/?p=139#comment-607 Not sure why agile seems to only be popular with software companies. I think that's the industry where it's most understood, but it could certainly apply to many other industries with a similar "project" oriented work flow. However, the two biggest hurdles in the software industry seem to be laziness and the status quo. While laziness can probably be overcome in other industries, I think the status quo is probably too firmly rooted for any major players to begin adopting agile. A better approach, that's similar to agile, for other industries might be the "Getting Real":https://gettingreal.37signals.com/ mentality, or at least the higher level parts of it. Thanks for participating in the discussion. Not sure why agile seems to only be popular with software companies.

Any clue why Agile is typically only seen in software/development companies? We were just talking about that over here at Forty. Excellent write-up!
