The executive meeting has concluded. Your boss calls and informs you that the decision is made. We are going with the new Acme ratings engine. Not only that but we are building an entire suite of applications around it—from policy management to CRM to reporting. The timeline is 24 months, everything must be built using SOA, and we'll be using an agile methodology.
You didn't get a lot of sleep that night. Agile—yikes—better start interviewing for SCRUM masters and hit the ground running. A project like this could mean the difference between finally buying that nice little beach condo and dumping your miserable two week August time share in Key West. You have got to move fast. Two years will be over before you know it. Agile means fast. Maybe we can start our first sprint next month.
