Is the “Software Project Survival Guide” methodology compatible with Agile ones? you're right, I guess I was living under the impression that the stages described by McConnell were much more formal and ceremony-laden than in typical agile methods. |

Is the “Software Project Survival Guide” methodology compatible with Agile ones? Ah so if I understand you right, the XP/Scrum iteration maps naturally to McConnell's "stages", right? So McConnell's method describes all the management activities that happen behind the agile scenes, and which are seldom addressed in books on agile, at least not in those I have read. |

Is the “Software Project Survival Guide” methodology compatible with Agile ones? @ThomasOwens The whole idea of delivering software in "stages" (each with requirements updates, detailed design, construction etc, see p. 175) sounds antithetical to the (short) iterative delivery proposed by XP and Scrum. I'm not sure how long such a "stage" is supposed to take but it doesn't sound like the 4-6 weeks used on agile projects. |

Should 'mathematical' functions follow mathematical notation? Just to make clear, are there languages out there that can do that sort of dimensional analysis? I.e. that know that for instance that the product between a Pressure and a Volume can be assigned to a unit of Energy? |

Where can I learn about hardware/software co-design? Thanks, but that sounds more like a textbook on microcontroller design. I was looking for guidance on how to manage the development of an embedded system, including choice of microcontroller, memory, etc. |

How do I deal with code of bad quality contributed by a third party? "Set quality requirement": an excellent suggestion, but this is probably the core of the problem: how do you define "Quality"? I don't want to introduce metrics that can be gamed, and neither do I want to end up like the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance :-) |
