McConnell has never really been a fan of “purist” Agile.
Construx eventually developed a curriculum around a fairly “corporate-friendly” version of Scrum, that I never found that appealing.
The way I write code, these days, makes Agile look like Orthodox religion.
However, it’s highly dependent upon me, being who I am, and a lifetime of habit and personal process. It would probably not scale well.
McConnell has always been about introducing process, metrics, and rigor to software development. I don’t think he’d be thrilled with the way I do stuff.
