I read a very interesting article today. One of the most interesting things I've read in the last several months. I completely agree with Beck that the XP methodologies would work best and provide a nice process for solving the difficult problems of software development, but my experience has been that getting a "customer" is one of the most painfully difficult things there is. In my experience, it's NEVER been successful for more than a few weeks. I had lunch with some XPers from GSK (GalaxoSmithKline) a couple of weeks ago, and their experience mirrored mine.
