I think rule-based systems are quite good in order to have all these 
properties (rules can be specified, version-controled and are maintainable).
I have even seen rules that clients (non programmers) could understand 
and modify thanks to a DSL.
I guess most languages have rule-based programming libraries.

However, my personal belief is that the most important part is the 
people, not the technology (whatever it might be).
And, there is an excellent book on the subject:
"Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams"

F.
