In recent issues of ITMS, we looked at managing the size of IT applications. This is critical whether you're building IT applications inhouse or contracting an outsourcer or IT partner for applications development and maintenance. In both cases, mismanaging the scope and size of commitments can have dire results. Overpromising can result in the project overruns and slippages that are at epidemic levels in our industry.

It may be a passionate rededication to an old idea, or a completely new idea, or simply an old idea dressed up in new clothes to attract the attention of a new generation of developers. Whatever its origin, it will be embraced by some as a silver bullet, rejected by others as dangerous snake oil, and ignored by the majority who simply continue plodding along with whatever tools and techniques they already had.
