Link: Strategic Legal Technology :: Why Specialists Should Manage E-Discovery:
Ron Friedman has an excellent post regarding eDiscovery and a related white paper that provides several key insights. My, mostly from a distance, watching of this space led me to conclude the eDiscovery was a wicked problem that was in desperate need of agile project management methodologies that have worked well in other disciplines (e.g. software development & knowledge management).
It seems that firms are starting to tackle this issue with a combination of project managers and lawyers. While they may not be using agile techniques, this combination of resources appears to be a step in the right direction. As Ron aptly points out, eDiscovery is as much a process problem as it is a technology problem. Producing high quality results will require a combination of people, process and platform.
