agile method programming public sector

  • The Agile methodology is meant to deliver IT projects flexibly, in iterations.
  • But the lack of clearly defined project roles and requirements is a problem for Agile.
  • There are four clear reasons why Agile won't work in government ICT. The most obvious is that government customers want to know up-front how much a system will cost
  • ...2 more annotations...

Why is the Most Wasteful Government Agency Not Part of Deficit Discussion? | Common Dreams

    In all the talk about the federal deficit, why is the single largest culprit left out of the conversation? Why is the one part of government that best epitomizes everything conservatives say they hate about government-- waste, incompetence, and corruption-all but exempt from conservative criticism? Of course, I'm talking about the Pentagon. Any serious battle plan to reduce the deficit must take on the Pentagon. In 2011 military spending accounted for more than 58 percent of all federal discretionary spending and even more if the interest on the federal debt that is related to military spending were added. In the last ten years we have spent more than $7.6 trillion on military and homeland security according to the National Priorities Project.

  • Google Caffeine — the remodeled search infrastructure rolled out across Google's worldwide data center network earlier this year — is not based on MapReduce, the distributed number-crunching platform that famously underpinned the company's previous indexing system. As the likes of Yahoo!, Facebook, and Microsoft work to duplicate MapReduce through the open source Hadoop project, Google is moving on.
