Beyond Software: Composite Agile Method and Strategy (CAMS) and Agile Business

摘要

Organizations need to consider the value Agile offers to business, far beyond that originally anticipated by the proponents of Agile in the software domain. When adopting Agile at the organizational level, organizations must make sure that different methods in use within the enterprise - each spearheaded by a different role - don't cause method friction, which can reduce quality and flexibility. Concepts from DAD, such as its focus on a solution (rather than software) and on scalability, provide an excellent basis for adopting a composite approach to Agile such as CAMS. Further experimentation (in a pilot project scenario) using DAD to adopt CAMS will provide valuable lessons that are organization-specific.
