Paula Actually there are a variety of practices that go under the heading of "Agile Programming". Just Google for it. Here is a recent article on it: http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/software/appdev/story/0,10801,6= 7952,00.html How it is implemented at your site may vary widely, especially if the manager hasn't tried it before. But DBAs must always be agile.
