Abstract

Today, as always, many different initiatives are under way to improve the ways in which software is developed. The most popular and prevalent of these is the agile movement. One of the newer kids on the block is the SEMAT (Software Engineering Method and Theory) initiative. As with any new initiative, people are struggling to see how it fits into the world and relates to all the other things going on. For example, does it improve or replace their current ways of working? Is it like lean, which supports and furthers the aims of the agile movement, or is it more like waterfall planning, which is in opposition to an agile approach?
