I think the biggest issue is from a business people perspective, formal requirements needed for this type of development (software development as an engineering discipline) is too slow, and not as open to change as the agile (craft) methods tend to be in software.



It depends what business you're in and what your needs are. Agile doesn't get much traction in flight control software or telephone switches.


Exactly... anything dealing with critical hardware will/should be done as an engineering discipline wrt development, where tfa's practices could be better. That isn't the majority of software development, which is one-off line of business apps.
