So I'm on a project out here in San Francisco building Xcelsius Dashboards for a company... we're 3-4 weeks into this thing and all we have are demo's and prototypes, but nothing really to deliver since my part is done at week 9. We've gone into analysis paralysis (this is a stage in software development where nobody can describe the final product, and we have to keep going back to gather realistic requirements).
So my manager of this project schedules a meeting w/ everyone and says, there's no methodology that is going to help us get this done, just do it and get it over with! Of course there were some disagreements because in the process of developing software/products there needs to be some checks and balances, but I totally agree with him. Just get it done! If it looks like crap, fix it!
I would disagree if we were building a rocket ship though =), but this is not mission critical stuff we're building here.
