Cockburn's Ph.D thesis

I mentioned this in my previous post but I have to comment on it again as I got around reading it. Alistair Cockburn's Ph.D thesis is something that you should read if you are interested in process development. Read it, understand it and afterwards you will probably need to weep a little. How many times have we seen an attempt to deploy a new prcess model without little thought on how it actually fits the project/company?
