SCM Patterns - are they really practical?

Bob Aiello – Apr 2004
This month I made myself extremely unpopular with my fellow editors at CM Crossroads by suggesting that SCM Patterns were overly complex for practical application in many large scale business environments. It shouldn't come as a surprise that my comments were perceived by a couple of our more accomplished Editors as being fairly close to CM heresy. I am not good at writing about something unless I really believe in it. Part of my negative feelings may be a result of wishing that I had written down (and published) these paradigms myself. But another part of my hesitation is the realization that SCM can often be inherently complex and require complex tools. SCM Patterns is certainly a powerful methodology and well worth the effort to explore its application in everyday SCM practice.
