Agile Panel Discussion on Incremental Development, Instrumented Agile templates and Agile Mindset. Abstract 1: Incremental Development Incremental development is an excellent way to control risk. Begin by breaking activities into high risk paths and execution path. Then strategize how to make incremental handoffs from the high risk paths to the execution paths to maintain progress even things go wrong. Incremental development can be used with any type of development process. Speaker 1: Don Borcherding. Abstract 2: Instrumented Agile Templates Agile templates embed agile/Scrum process elements with built-in examples to allow standardized use of agile practices throughout an organization. Several agile templates listed below will be demonstrated as concrete examples: Engineering work (features) templates These templates ensure consistency across all agile projects in an organization, eliminate reinvention of the wheel, reduce process errors, help comply with a standardized agile lifecycle process with minimal process overhead, improve overall agile team productivity, and help scalability of agile processes to handle large projects. Most of these templates are also instrumented to allow quick metering and measurements (with minimal overhead) of estimated and actual efforts for each sprint, which is the critical information needed at the Sprint retrospectives to improve the agile process sprint by sprint. These templates are based on familiar Microsoft Office tools (can also be used as Google Docs), and can be used with popular agile project management tools of your choice, such as Rally. Speaker 2: Dr. Satish Thatte. Abstract 3: Agile Mindset How the agile mindset differs from the classical worldview and why it matters to the success of your agile initiative. Speaker 3: Bob Small. |
