It's good though, at least for business it's good. You would be able to take your workplace anywhere else you want. And it's been very effective lately. But then what's it saving me? Yes, Time. Isn't it profit if I can see my team working through an online conferencing wihthout having to go to the workplace myself and handle meeting with my business partners also through an online business discussion? that's how I define virtual business lifestyle. Life is easy with the very concept, isn't it? :) And if you ask me, I call all this a virtual lifestyle. It’s good though, at least for business it’s good.

Is this related to the (re)emergence of RAD - badged as Exreme Programming? I have a question about Extreme Programming.

This looks very much like the RAD (Rapid Application Development) technologies which emerged during the 80’s* and 90’s.

These too were based upon less formal planning, iterative application development and with a high degree of interaction from the client.

We found this approach isn’t working for us, because we have mostly government clients who require clear goals, a time frame and a fixed price quote at the beginning of a project.

Our experience with Iterative programming has revealed problems with scope creep, and no clearly defined project schedule or budget — which doesn’t work for our clients.
