An agile methodology primarily used for software application development related projects where you talk more about what you are going to do and spend less time actually doing it.
"Do we really need to have these update meetings every 2 hours? You want to know what I did for the past two hours, I was in other meetings, just like the two hours prior. I haven't wrote jack shit for code, but I am really getting sick of hearing Brenda say, 'Can you see my screen now?'"

A work-group paradigm for software engineers where all the people in your work-group sit near each other, and little or no official documentation is required in the written code. This is to get working code out faster in order to keep pace with the competition.
Our new company owner is instituting Agile Methodology and I don't know how that will work out after 12 years of the documentation requirement being being beaten into me.

* The Nicastro Methodology (named for a small town in the province of Catanzaro, in the Calabria region of southern Italy) is the methodology whereby one does not read any of the descriptions/instructions in the email itself, but forges right ahead into whatever action is required (in this case going to the link). It is usually followed by follow-up texts to the author asking 3 to 4 questions - all of which are answered in the original e-mail. Consideration is given to this methodology by acknowledging that it is going to happen anyway and posting the link first and foremost in the email. The virtue of reading this far is indicative that you do not subscribe to this methodology.
