The case for agile content development

14-Dec-2005   --  

You've probably heard of "agile programming," the faster and usually more effective alternative to "waterfall" software development. Mark Baker of Analecta Communications has put together a nice presentation on "agile content development," where he argues that increasingly heavy demands placed on regular content creators calls for leaner, more brutally practical, and, well, more agile editorial processes. Mark is not making a case for re-engineering your contributors (see also his articles here and here arguing for authors' interests in structured publishing environments), though new processes mean new ways of thinking about content as it relates to your business.
