Twenty-five years of agile, and how to make software
People answer, the repository is the truth, measurements judge: the position of Froment Software, in twenty-five points.
- agile
- method
- software quality
In 2001, seventeen people wrote one page. Twenty-five years later, an industry sells in its name what that page refused, and software has never been so heavy, so slow and so fragile.
Froment Software publishes its position: How to make software.
Three sentences
- People answer. A change has an author, a role has a plain name, a captain holds the course, and nobody needs a ritual to know when to work.
- The repository is the truth. Documentation, decisions and infrastructure live beside the code. Every action has a number, and any version can be rebuilt byte for byte.
- Measurements judge. Measure the system, never the person. Automatic gates refuse what is not up for debate, and dates come from the past.
