FDLC issue

On a VB/ASP project, how do you convince a manger who
doesn't believe that a development methodology in the FDLC
is necessary in today's IT market, is REALLY necessary?
This manager believes this process slows the development
process down significantly, especially with ASP
development. This manager believes this process probably
works better for software companies than normal industries
like insurance, banking, manufacturing, etc. This manager
would rather see poorly written ADHOC code that works and
was produced quickly, than analysis that was thought out
and good code was written in the process. This manager
also believes that documentation should come after your
done programming than during the FDLC.

Has anyone every dealt with this situation before, and
succeed in changing the manager view of IT development?

the F stands for.

Basically, you have three options. Accept his requests, quit and find
a new job or kill him and assume his position. Note that the third
one may sound acceptable but most organizations will frown upon it...
