How can I determine which programming methodology (if any) we use?

Question

My group will move to Team Foundation Server soon. Actually, I come to this.

One of the things you decide is which methodology you use - Agile, CMMI, etc.

Thing - I have no idea what methodology we use. By this I mean that we are not actively using it. And I'm not good enough at Agile or other methods to find out which, if any, apply to how we do it.

Is there any default methodology? As in the case if we go through some very stupid process (get requirements, code, test, click on QA, pass the QA test, click on production), is there even a name for it?

And as a bonus, with TFS, what is the penalty for choosing the wrong one at the beginning? How hard is it to shift gears later if we decide to go Agile or something like that?

Answer 1

There is no significant penalty for the switching methodology - you simply select the default value during installation, and you can choose the one that you will use for any project. In fact, this is only due to the way TFS first sets up the Sharepoint project page - you can add whatever you want to your page after creating it, so if you decide to change the project methodology, this is not difficult to do.

Answer 3

The easiest method is your iterative or "waterfall method", because you just go from step to step to step. However, it does not seem to be very popular.
