In this 20-minute interview with Michael Vizard, I do a wide survey of why Agile development practices can be so effective at cutting the costs of development and operation of strategic IT applications. Michael asked some great questions, including whether the current economic recession will stimulate change in the development process or cause it to stagnate, how people will train and staff for the coming changes, and how today’s ALM tools differ from what he refers to as the “old guard,” who are starting to claim that their tools also support Agile development.
