Software Methodologies at a Glance
I like to draw from a variety of sources for software engineering principles, patterns, and practices. To be able to do this, I usually need to create information models that let me quickly scan bodies of knowledge. Once I can frame out a space, it's a lot easier to drill into areas looking for gold. I can also step back and see across approaches and this helps me see underlying principles or key distinctions between approaches.

While the frames aren't entirely consistent, I can still quickly scan the methodologies and get a good sense of what the key ideas, activities, artifacts, and practices are.
