Now that Pivotal Labs is trying to make headway in Asia by way of Singapore, Carl Coryell-Martin evangelizes agile methods and tries to answer the issues experienced by asian dev firms facing both old school customers and coders.

In this talk Carl gave at echelon 2010, he emphasizes two things:

1. Customers can’t really scope at the start what form their application will take; and
2. Developers really don’t have the ability to establish estimates of time and cost based on a pre-determined scope of features.

Thinking otherwise, according to Carl, “will just leave you in tears.”

Here’s some wisdom filled rap for all the web developers out there. Trust me brutthas, there’s a lot of substance in what Moserious is talking about.
