Without a doubt, it’s a disaster prescription not to use any methodology but, on the other hand, the years have taught us that to use a "very protocolic" methodology (in a sense that it demands a long and detailed series of steps and documents) can be unproductive, cause delays and wearing downs. Paradoxicalally, a methodology of projects full of detail and plaintiff can be as dangerous as not to use a methodology. In this sense we have found that MSF (Microsoft Solutions Framework) is placed in a right average between these two ends. MSF attacks the different aspects that are due to manage in a computer-related project: • The constitution and responsibilities of the human team • The phases and deliverables of the development process • The monitoring and continuous mitigación of risks • The distributed administration of responsibilities and the scalability of the model MSF establishes the necessity to make meetings and to create documents and other deliverables, but it has reasonable and light exigencies, which increases the possibilities that the average team does not desert in the use of the methodology. Our experience with MSF has been brief but satisfactory, and that’s the reason why we suggest it’s adoption for your projects.
