AGILITY AT SCALE: APPLYING AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES ON REAL-WORLD PROJECTS

摘要

Agile software development techniques are being adopted within the majority of organizations around the world and are now being applied "at scale" in very complex situations. This presentation overviews agile software development, shares data from a recent industry survey as to the adoption rate of agile techniques, and explores scaling issues such as distributed development teams, regulatory compliance, governance, large teams, complex environments and leveraging legacy assets. Agile approaches enable you to achieve greater quality, improved return on investment (ROI), reduced time to market and significantly easier governance—although they require greater collaboration, teamwork and discipline on the part of IT professionals and business stakeholders.
