Re: Holy Smoke!

Noons,

I think your comments can be better attributed to XP and other light methodologies which specifically offer alternatives to artifacts and design documents, and replace them with best practice guidelines they claim make them unnecessary. Ambler, Cockburn, and their group are more pragmatic, and are trying to come up with processes and practices that pull the most value out of the techniques that already exists without getting bogged down by them.

There's no central arbitration of taste, so you might not like Ambler's models or Cockburn's use cases, but they're OK with that.
