Abstract

While Beck asserts that agility is only possible through greater discipline on the part of everyone involved, Boehm counters that you don't broaden the definition of "discipline" by rejecting parts of it. Yet, from inside Extreme Programming, it seems that the only way to achieve the desired results is to view the world in "both-and" terms instead of "either-or" terms.
