I think the take away should be:
So the people who want to sell you 'Impact Engineering' say 'Impact Engineering' is better than Agile.... Hardly an objective source.
Even if they have success with their 'Impact Engineering' methodology, the second it becomes an Agile-level buzzword is the second it also becomes crap.
The short of the real problem is that the typical software development project is subject to piss poor management, business planning, and/or developers and that piss poor management is always looking for some 'quick fix' in methodology to wave a wand and get business success without across the board competency.
Oh yeah. I totally agree that the source has its own objective. I wasn't supporting their specific approach at all.
You are right that the key take away is somene saying "I think my own idea, which I happen to be selling a book about, is great, here are some stats that I have crafted to support my own agenda"
The point I was making was simply that people who care enough to try something, anything, with thought (like looking for a new methodology to try out) are likely to be more successful.
Like a diet. The specific one doesn't matter so much. It's the fact that you are actually paying attention and making a specific effort.
