Petra Becker-Pechau veröffentlicht auf der 23ten ACM SIGPLAN OOPSLA 2008 in Nashville, Tennessee einen Artikel mit dem Titel "Challenges: agile values meet different value systems"

One might expect that nowadays object-oriented software development and agile methods are mainstream in industrial practice. Especially the handling of method mixtures as we face it when different organizations and disciplines have to work together should have been addressed by now. Actually conflicts arise exactly at that point, in the worst case leading to failed software projects. Our assumption: The choice of methods and tools is an expression of the value systems of an individual, a team, an organization etc. This applies to software development as well as to any other discipline. Different value systems are accountable for conflicts. The question is: how do we, as software developers who value agile methods and object-oriented approaches, handle such structural conflicts?
