Agile for Smarties – A Resource Kit
Posted By admin on February 11, 2011 | Technical DebtThere are plenty of “…for dummies” materials out there. This one is for smarties. So buckle up!
A couple of weeks ago, Dave West, Principal Analyst from Forrester and I had a chat about Agile. Click here to replay the Forrester webinar.
Three themes kept coming up.
First, what exactly are teams doing when they say they’re doing Agile? Do they have a case of Scrumbut? Are they doing Scrum, …., but not this or that particular thing?
Second, does Agile scale to large projects where teams are large and geographically distributed?
And finally, what are some best practices for Agile?
A Bumpy Ride for the Architecture
Over the last year, we’ve heard these and similar questions on Agile. We’ve done some webinars and published some materials. I thought I’d collect these up for you here into an Agile Resource Kit.
- Does Agile Scale? Listen to Dr. Bill Curtis of CAST and Rebecca Parsons, CTO of ThoughtWorks talk about the roadblocks to scaling Agile and how to remove them.
- How critical is architectural integrity to Agile? Dr. Bill Curtis talks about how to stay on top of a rapidly evolving architecture. Catch that webinar here.
- And finally, the notion of Technical Debt — how to manage it in the Agile process. We recently published a newsletter with Gartner on this topic.
Enjoy!
