How to convince a skeptical boss on the merits of Agile?
Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2008 5:17 pm
So... I just tried to explain Agile to my boss today. I didn't expect him to be so skeptical about it, but here are a few of his comments:
"What about clients with a fixed budget?"
"People always want to know 'how much' before they commit"
Granted, I'm not looking to implement agile anytime soon there, but I wonder what it would take to convince him. Has anyone here had similar experiences, or is similarly skeptical of agile?"Sounds a bit muddy... what if a clients to move to another developer? Scrap everything so far? Code under development isn't always portable"
