Embracing Change (management) in an Agile way

....and then there was this time I deployed Rational ClearQuest across 30 change management processes 15 organizations 6 subcontractors <Names and places are changed to protect the innocent and guilty alike> I spent my first week reading the contract between the government entity and the prime contractor.  That was pretty mind numbing (but turned out to be critical later on...)    :-D Then one of my three managers walked into my cube and said ....  "we have to have an electronic defect tracking tool on project X.  We have to have it...

Using Agile practices to support software maintenance

Reedy Feggins 120000A43D | | Visits (14407)

Tweet
At some point in time, every software application will go into maintenance where most of the software updates going forward are limited to minor enhancements and bug fixes.  While often overlooked, maintenance is an integral part of most IT organizations.  Studies have shown that some IT organizations spend as much as 75% of their overall software budgets on software maintenance . While many iT organizations have started using agile practices on projects, the projects usually are fixed iterations, between 2 to 4 weeks, use a single product... [More]

Can you be Agile without doing TDD (test driven development)? -- the question was asked

M_Kevin_McHugh 270001CDK4 | | Visits (5425)

Tweet
The question was asked: "Can you be Agile without doing TDD (test driven development)?" Credits:    The original question as well as several excellent answers was posted on (programmers.stackexchange.com) .  I encourage you to check those too.   Short answer: Yes.   Longer answer:    In my experience, Agile is about picking the right level of Lean-ness for the project at hand.  What do I mean by Lean-ness?  And, why do I bring it into this answer?    Lean does not mean chopping everything possible out of your method.  As one of our...

Webcast: Agility to Grow: Be as Agile as You Need to Be

richardknaster 060000XKSX | | Visits (4045)

Tweet
  Much of the mainstream agile discussion focuses on the construction of straightforward systems by a small, co-located team working in a collaborative and self-organizing manner. Yet we know that there is more to software delivery than just construction, that many teams are neither small nor co-located, and that many teams are working on complex systems within a complex environment. The evidence that agile approaches result in improved time-to-market, improved quality, and improved developer productivity compel us to tailor agile strategies... [More]

The three most important things in Agile: velocity, velocity, and velocity – part 1 in a series

M_Kevin_McHugh 270001CDK4 | | Visits (2428)

   We all know velocity to be the number of story points a team can successfully complete per sprint.  Velocity is a thing of beauty.  Let’s take a moment to ponder it.   It predicts complexity delivered per sprint It predicts release dates It defines and defends a sustainable pace It binds scope It wards off evil vampires … project managers … oh! yes! strike ‘evil’ too.  :-) It out performs industrial strengthened Earn Value Management Systems with a white board It and/or the lack of it, shows the health of Sprint Planning Some say it can jump...

Succeeding with your First Agile Pilot Project

Reedy Feggins 120000A43D | | Visits (8107)

Tweet
Successful agile transformations often times require successful agile pilot projects. Often time a successful initial pilot is the most critical step early in a successful enterprise agile adoption. If the pilot project is a success then the organization has a tangible example to get behind but if the project fails (or just fails to meet expectations) then the entire agile initiative could be derailed by critics. Because no one really likes change unless they are driving it.   Agile Pilot Selection Pilot selection is often the most critical... [More]
