Excuse me I am new to the group
And although I find the econmic debate interesting I think the the
most import question that requires answering is something like:
Could a software consulting firm with basically no overhead and
using the XP development process bring real value to market place?
Even in the face of out sourcing I think it could if the firm
specializes in tough projects. Many of us have worked on waterfall
projects and the disasters they can create. Of course I am inferring
that this or a similair method is used when out sourcing.
In a earlier thread I read about a manager who was quite happy with
software he got from India. That may be true but, how complex was it?
For all we know it was just a modification of some prexisting
software
