I thought for sure this would mention another "innovation" that came out of Chrysler, "Extreme Programming":

Short story: Chrylser had been trying to unify its various systems and subsystems for payroll and had failed and failed. Eventually, a group of consultants were brought in who had invented a particular agile technique, extreme-programming. Of course, the project failed, but that didn't keep the consultants from spreading the XP word throughout the world.

Two of my developers were on the original XP team at Chrysler. They don't to XP at Chrysler anymore either.
