本文描述了一个案例研究的软件工程师开发一个库的软件组件的一组研究科学家，使用传统的，分阶段的，文档为主导的方法。案例研究揭示了使用该方法的两个问题。第一个是，它要求预先明确需求，而科学家有经验，因此期望，紧急需求;第二个是，项目文档不足以构建一个共同的理解。反思我们的案例研究，我们讨论是否结合敏捷元素与传统的方法可能会减轻这些问题。然后，我们认为，丰富的图片所描绘的案例研究，并对方法论的反思，它激发，具有超越研究的原始背景的相关性。
This paper describes a case study of software engineers developing a library of software components for a group of research scientists, using a traditional, staged, document-led methodology. The case study reveals two problems with the use of the methodology. The first is that it demands an upfront articulation of requirements, whereas the scientists had experience, and hence expectations, of emergent requirements; the second is that the project documentation does not suffice to construct a shared understanding. Reflecting on our case study, we discuss whether combining agile elements with a traditional methodology might have alleviated these problems. We then argue that the rich picture painted by the case study, and the reflections on methodology that it inspires, has a relevance that reaches beyond the original context of the study.
