Agile Software Development

Looking at CIO.com, there seems to be a lot more discussion and articles about agile software development (vis-a-vis Waterfall development) and a shift more towards shorter life cycles, a diminished reliance on written requirements vs. face-to-face communication and shorter bursts of communication between clients and IT professionals as well as amongst the members of an IT development team. It also seems as though this method of working is becoming more acceptable (not just "undisciplined" vs the "disciplined" waterfall model). Should be an interesting topic and debate to continue to watch.
