Part one of a three part discussion between Liz Barnett, Agile Journal Editor in Chief and Per Kroll, Development Manager for RUP and the IBM Rational Method Composer about how agile has gone mainstream. In Part One, Liz Barnett introduces us to the distinction between capital "A" agile and small "a" agile and explains why this difference is important to understanding the rapid adoption of agile development practices. Per also addresses a common roadblock to agile adoption, that mainstream development organizations often go for the "safe bet" rather than venture into unknown territory.
