IMO this is the form of delivery of the software, rather than the actual software used. Project management that delivers in one big bang is a recipe for disaster. Using an agile and iterative methodology is more likely to result in software that is: * Modular * Scalable * Efficient * More likely to fulfil the brief of the business department that requires it Have a look how the DVLA have been able to move their IT forward, so we can now * Tax vehicles online * Transfer ownership online * No longer having to display Tax disks on your cars I understand the last one can be contentious due to privacy issues, but the point remains.
