In JWZ's entry of links about the oil spill in the gulf, user pete23 observes:
I had the fortune to work on $100M of software for them. Applying the same techniques you do to installing a new tank in a refinery wasn't a great way of doing it - and I'm proud we changed that, slightly. Unfortunately, it looks like big-A Agile may have made it into their drilling methodologies too. The story card where a bajillion tons of oil doesn't hit the shoreline was probably scoped into a later iteration.
