Project Sustainability Scaffolding/Pyramid
The various methodologies for running different projects occurred to me when DIUS merged with BIS, e.g. the model for innovation in business is 'Venture Capitol'. <-- I also think there is a lot to say about the 'survival of the fittest' model in business, where larger companies are able to spawn more projects to try and find a winner = "lots of mistakes and make them fast", also known as the "hollywood summer blockbuster" model (hundreds of films throughout the year that loose money, but one blockbuster that makes it all back and then some, the non-gaining films are valuable because they provide a community of film buffs around the film community adding value).
I also think Agile is distinctly different from MSP in that it is not trying to produce a product but rather trying to scratch an itch, e.g. a project might set out to create an iPhone App but they might realise that producing a tool for eBooks is a better option of solving the user problem i.e. the focus is not on producing the product promised but on solving the end user problem.
