These methods focus on quick development in an uncertain, ill-understood environment in which requirements rapidly evolve. These methods also view people, rather than formal documentation, as a project's most important element.Software, IEEE
Agile software development istheway we build software now. The general consensus on management of software development projects is that predictive planning approaches (e.g.,Waterfall) are ill suited for the job. However, almost two decades after the release of theAgile Manifestoand the rise ofScru...
The iterative and incremental agile software development is often seen as an ill-match to many security engineering models that require up-front design that may diminish agility. Given this motivation, the paper presented an industry survey on the use and perceived impact of various security engineer...
But if your teams are distributed across multiple time zones or some team members are ill, it’s a good idea to record the event. Having a recording to refer back to could also be useful for attendees who want a refresher on anything that has been discussed. Be ready to adapt Some ...
ups and sprints without grasping the underlying philosophy. This can result in what is known as “Cargo Cult Agile,” where the form is present, but the substance is missing. Inadequate training and coaching exacerbate this problem, leaving teams ill-prepared to fully leverage Agile methodologies...
needed to build successful software in the first place. Without past experience to draw on, teams were ill equipped to estimate project costs and time to completion, leading to software that was often delivered over budget, over schedule, and lacking key functionality — if it was delivered at...
waterfall methods of software development—a more linear development process with greater upfront planning. The counter argument, is that great software requires careful and detailed upfront planning to avoid dead ends, blockages, capability limitations, and expensive rewrites of ill-planned spaghetti ...
As with internal development, it's not as simple as flipping a switch to go Agile. Pay closeattention to the languagein an Agile development contract. Conventional software development contracts are often an ill fit for Agile projects, as it can be difficult to estimate the amount of work to...
believe development is a linear process. You ignore unpleasant feedback. Rather than acting on it, you always stick to the plan, just like a politician in an ill-advised military quagmire. If any of these descriptions are true for your organization—or for yourself—then you’re not ready....
Remote and distributed teams can excel at agile software development, but it takes work and experimentation. Let this be your guide
