Requirements for agile adoption

People believe that Agile methods are for senior developers; Agile methods are for small projects; Agile methods are for small teams.

People (inc. me) also BELIEVE that Junior developers benefit from agile adoptions; Big projects can be efficient with agile methods; Big teams can work as agile teams.


6

How can you break the Waterfall model?


7

Team Organization

There must be at least one senior developer in the group.

Based on the overall expertise, select the correct methods. Ask: does the decision make sense?

Do good training for at least 2 purposes Technical knowledge and skills Team understanding and communication

Keep in mind the “agile spirit” during setting up your team.


8

Process

By answer some questions How frequently can you talk with customer? Can your team mates manage them selves? How do you best fit with meeting and task

assignment? Can all your team do Unit Testing well? Who are senior in your team? Can you do estimation well?

You’ll select a well-defined method from your toolbox;

or build your own from best practices (YAADM)

Tooling

Agile project management tool (not MS Project!) such as a whiteboard, an online dashboard, ticket management system, issue management system such as Redmine.org , assembla.com, Google Code, JIRA).

Build Automation: Ant, Maven, MakeContinuous Integration (CI): Hudson, CruiseControl,

MS Team Foundation ServerAgile languages and frameworks

Kaizen

Think small “How can I now how many code I write a day?”, “how

much time does my team save by using code template?”, “Is there any better way to generate useful JavaDoc automatically?”

Support your idea with “productivity” word in mind.

Measure your action with useful metricsKeep writing to save your “theory”, and share

it.

Metrics and Measurement

LOC, KLOCKLOCs/DAY, KLOCs/SprintFeatures/Day, Features/SprintBugs Rate, Bugs DensityCohesion Degree, Coupling DegreeCyclomatic complexityProgram Load time, Execution time

What can you learn from projects

Project-based learning

Project-based learning, is the use of in-depth and rigorous classroom projects to facilitate learning and assess student competence. Students use technology and inquiry to respond to a complex issue, problem or challenge.
