My personal favorite. Crystal is for the pragmatist who is happy to
improve on what they have rather than opting for a big bang all or nothing approaches
(such as XP). Crystal principals are designed to fit into your current
methodologies and processes. Improvement is then gradual and symbiotic. The
book
(Crystal Clear) is also excellent.

An interesting discussion of the case against XP. Although
I have to say that I do not agree with many of the viewpoints put forward.
It is however interesting to read.

» Balancing
Agility and Discipline

Methodologies

Balancing Agility and Discipline – the original paper by Boehm. Very
insightful comparison between agile and plan driven methods. This was the
foundation of his book of the same name. A great resource for how to scale
up XP or ‘agilify’ plan driven methods.

A debate between Beck and Boehm on plan and agile methods. Even as
an agile proponent, it’s hard to side with Barry on this one. A great read.

Science - Successes

Code Science is a hybrid methodology that combines a plan driven
shell containing mainly XP practices. It is designed for large mission
critical projects but leverages from the agile tenants. Agile on 400KLOC
projects. Another similar approach is Agile+

Lecture summarizing Brooks laws that effect software projects.
These are of interest as they are the problems that agile will increasingly
face as it upscales into mainstream enterprise-coupled applications.
