This summer I asked myself two questions (well, some more, but who cares about my favorite pizza):

1) why is the most popular way of doing Project Management plan driven?
2) why did agile methods pop up during the mid-nineties and not earlier or later?

My answer to the second question is this months featured paper in PM World Today: “Why Agile Popped Up on the Radar When it Did”

For those who missed it, I answered question number one in last months issue.
