“…Thanks to the groundbreaking work of a few pioneers, namely Victor Basili and Barry Boehm (in strict alphabetical order), the discipline has now grown even if it seriously lack the absence of widely accepted corpus, which could simplify its systematic adoption in evaluating every single methodology that is proposed, as it already happens in other "soft" disciplines, such as education, psychology, etc.One of the new methods proposed have been the so-called Agile Methodologies. They look very reasonable, supporters claim the tremendous added value that Agile Methodologies produce. …”
