Old Boar's blog (Old Boars blog)

So far today has been spent working through a batch of specification changes. They've all been approved by the customer already, and some of them are actually retrospective (in as far as the code they define has already been changed). It's not too exciting, but it is better than sitting around doing nothing. While I'm doing it, I can't help thinking that the Xtreme Programming and other RAD types have go a point. The question is, how do you maintain the necessary degree of control, while allowing things to progress. I definitely think that the administration associated with some of the changes I'm handling is inhibiting change in an undesirable and costly way. Still, I'm one of the costs and summer (holiday) is a coming.

On a different tack, I've been wondering what to do this evening, and whether I should plan an overhaul for my website. The current site was always intended to be temporary and has been static for far too long (well over a year).
