Steve Konieczka - April 2003
Software Configuration Management (SCM) implementations often apply tools and processes to projects, arguing that it?s ?the right thing to do.? Some of these tools and processes can dramatically decrease the development team?s velocity and increase overall cost to the project while gaining only marginal benefits, if any at all. Any time an Agile development project implements new processes and/or tools, the team must measure the benefit over the cost, keeping in mind the fundamentals and principles outlined in the Agile Manifesto.
