Break out of the software factory.

thnks, this explains a lot, let me explain. In short what I hear is https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/lion-ant-managerial-lesson-dave-berkus-1c/ Being I little bit older I have seen the shift happening 80's 90''s that is before those consultancy firms were leading. There is another opinion on what classic development is from that other era. There were many good initiatives. For Instance Winston Royce was promoting a no-nonsense (agile) approach. I hear Anderson now Accenture for the big project overhead. Here it was Pandata now Cap-gemini (SDM) doing the same. We could share it with top-down micromanagement wanting the Authority without accountability (getting blamed) but getting aal the profits and benefits. I hear limiting scope, backlog, and working at what is possible that is the well known V-model of engineering. The goal is doing as much as possible (down-end) and limiting the up-front work. So the big-desing upfront is coming from that micromanagement driver by management. Lean Toc Agile Scrum XP are all no-nonsense having the same issue being transferred into that micromanagement approach. The is a hard resistance for real change. I am convinced when looking at the idea's of Taylor/Fayol we see the same.
