Practical Approach To Large-Scale Agile Development, A - How Hp Transformed Laserjet Futuresmart Firmware

by Gary Gruver, Mike Young e Pat Fulghum

25,16€ + 10% CARD

 Today, even the largest development organizations are turning to agile methodologies, seeking major productivity and quality improvements. However, large-scale agile development is difficult, and publicly available case studies have been scarce. Now, three agile pioneers at Hewlett-Packard present a candid, start-to-finish insider’s look at how they’ve succeeded with agile in one of the company’s most mission-critical software environments: firmware for HP LaserJet printers. This book tells the story of an extraordinary experiment and journey. Could agile principles be applied to re-architect an enormous legacy code base? Could agile enable both timely delivery and ongoing innovation? Could it really be applied to 400+ developers distributed across four states, three continents, and four business units? Could it go beyond delivering incremental gains, to meet the stretch goal of 10x developer productivity improvements? It could, and it did—but getting there was not easy. Writing for both managers and technologists, the authors candidly discuss both their successes and failures, presenting actionable lessons for other development organizations, as well as approaches that have proven themselves repeatedly in HP’s challenging environment. They not only illuminate the potential benefits of agile in large-scale development, they also systematically show how these benefits can actually be achieved. Coverage includes: • Tightly linking agile methods and enterprise architecture with business objectives • Focusing agile practices on your worst development pain points to get the most bang for your buck • Abandoning classic agile methods that don’t work at the largest scale • Employing agile methods to establish a new architecture • Using metrics as a "conversation starter" around agile process improvements • Leveraging continuous integration and quality systems to reduce costs, accelerate schedules, and automate the delivery pipeline • Taming the planning beast with "light-touch" agile planning and lightweight long-range forecasting • Implementing effective project management and ensuring accountability in large agile projects • Managing tradeoffs associated with key decisions about organizational structure • Overcoming U.S./India cultural differences that can complicate offshore development • Selecting tools to support quantum leaps in productivity in your organization • Using change management disciplines to support greater enterprise agility

Agile Software Requirements - Lean Requirements Practices For Teams, Programs, And The Enterprise

by Dean Leffingwell

52,99€ + 10% CARD

 <blockquote> "We need better approaches to understanding and managing software requirements, and Dean provides them in this book. He draws ideas from three very useful intellectual pools: classical management practices, Agile methods, and lean product development. By combining the strengths of these three approaches, he has produced something that works better than any one in isolation." -From the Foreword by Don Reinertsen, President of Reinertsen & Associates; author of Managing the Design Factory; and leading expert on rapid product development </blockquote> Effective requirements discovery and analysis is a critical best practice for serious application development. Until now, however, requirements and Agile methods have rarely coexisted peacefully. For many enterprises considering Agile approaches, the absence of effective and scalable Agile requirements processes has been a showstopper for Agile adoption. In Agile Software Requirements, Dean Leffingwell shows exactly how to create effective requirements in Agile environments. <ul> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Part I presents the "big picture" of Agile requirements in the enterprise, and describes an overall process model for Agile requirements at the project team, program, and portfolio levels </div></li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Part II describes a simple and lightweight, yet comprehensive model that Agile project teams can use to manage requirements </div></li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Part III shows how to develop Agile requirements for complex systems that require the cooperation of multiple teams </div></li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Part IV guides enterprises in developing Agile requirements for ever-larger "systems of systems," application suites, and product portfolios </div></li> </ul> This book will help you leverage the benefits of Agile without sacrificing the value of effective requirements discovery and analysis. You’ll find proven solutions you can apply right now-whether you’re a software developer or tester, executive, project/program manager, architect, or team leader.

Software Project Manager'S Bridge To Agility, The

by Michele Sliger e Stacia Broderick

51,66€ + 10% CARD

 When software development teams move to agile methods, experienced project managers often struggle—doubtful about the new approach and uncertain about their new roles and responsibilities. In this book, two long-time certified Project Management Professionals (PMPRs) and Scrum trainers have built a bridge to this dynamic new paradigm. They show experienced project managers how to successfully transition to agile by refocusing on facilitation and collaboration, not "command and control." The authors begin by explaining how agile works: how it differs from traditional "plan-driven" methodologies, the benefits it promises, and the real-world results it delivers. Next, they systematically map the Project Management Institute’s classic, methodology-independent techniques and terminology to agile practices. They cover both process and project lifecycles and carefully address vital issues ranging from scope and time to cost management and stakeholder communication. Finally, drawing on their own extensive personal experience, they put a human face on your personal transition to agile--covering the emotional challenges, personal values, and key leadership traits you’ll need to succeed. Coverage includes <ul> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Relating the PMBOKR Guide ideals to agile practices: similarities, overlaps, and differences </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Understanding the role and value of agile techniques such as iteration/release planning and retrospectives </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Using agile techniques to systematically and continually reduce risk </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Implementing quality assurance (QA) where it belongs: in analysis, design, defect prevention, and continuous improvement </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Learning to trust your teams and listen for their discoveries </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Procuring, purchasing, and contracting for software in agile, collaborative environments </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Avoiding the common mistakes software teams make in transitioning to agile </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> Coordinating with project management offices and non-agile teams </div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN: 0px"> "Selling" agile within your teams and throughout your organization </div></li> </ul> For every project manager who wants to become more agile.
