We've have been proposing formal mathematical methods of software development for nearly as long as we've been developing software. Agile methods propose "emergent design," and argue that BDUF (big design up front) is old-fashioned and limiting. Both viewpoints have their advantages and disadvantages. Is software development a science or an art? Are these viewpoints reconcilable?
