3. The Right Process Produces the Right Results
“The agile process is the universal remedy
for software development project failure.
Software applications developed through the
agile process have three times the success
rate of the traditional waterfall method and a
much lower percentage of time and cost
overruns. The secret is the trial and error
and delivery of the iterative process.”
