The document discusses strategies for implementing agile software development on large teams and projects. It describes how agile principles can be applied at scale through practices like feature teams, short iteration cycles, frequent integration and delivery, an on-site customer representative, and regular reflection and adaptation. While agile was originally developed for small teams, these strategies aim to scale agile values of rapid feedback, collaboration, and response to change to projects involving hundreds or thousands of people.

What agile teams think about agile principlesJaguaraci Silva
The document discusses the history and development of agile principles. It summarizes a survey that was conducted in 2010 to understand views on agile principles and practices. 326 respondents with extensive agile experience participated in the survey. The survey found general agreement with most of the original 12 agile principles, but also identified areas for revision. Based on the survey results, some principles were updated to better reflect modern agile approaches and address issues like "Flaccid Scrum" where code quality is overlooked. The conclusions emphasize that principles and practices must be aligned, and principles need to evolve with changes to remain relevant.

1) Frederick Brooks Jr. argues that while accidental difficulties in software engineering have been solved through advances like high-level programming languages, unified development environments, and time-sharing, essential difficulties like complexity, conformity, changeability, and invisibility are inherent to software and unlikely to see improvements of even an order of magnitude.
2) The essential difficulties arise from software's complexity, need to conform to standards, constant pressure for change, and invisibility/lack of visualization.
3) Promising approaches to the essential difficulties include requirements refinement, rapid prototyping, focusing on great designers, incremental development, and buying rather than building software when possible.

Agile software engineering combines a philosophy and a set of development guidelines.
To be agile you need to put the agile values and principles into practice.
Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile software development methodology designed for small to medium teams developing software in changing environments. It focuses on close communication between developers and customers, simplicity, feedback, and courage. Key practices include planning game, small releases, pair programming, continuous testing, refactoring, and collective ownership. XP pushes established software principles like communication, simplicity, and feedback to extreme levels. It was one of the earliest agile methodologies to challenge the traditional waterfall model.

No silver bullet essence and accidents of software engineeringArun Banotra
The document outlines Frederick Brooks' argument that there is no "silver bullet" that can solve all of software engineering's problems. It discusses the differences between essential difficulties, which are inherent to software due to its complexity, need for conformity, changeability, and invisibility, and accidental difficulties caused by current production methods. While breakthroughs have solved some accidental difficulties, like high-level programming languages, Brooks argues one breakthrough alone cannot provide an order-of-magnitude improvement due to software's essential properties.

Mary Poppendieck: The Aware Organization - Lean IT Summit 2014Institut Lean France
We now have a pretty good idea of what Just-in-Time means in software development. With Continuous Delivery moving to the mainstream, rapid flow of value through the development process is becoming routine. However, as software systems get larger and more complex, we may lose sight of what Jidoka has to offer. At the Lean IT Summit 2014, Mary Poppendieck explained what Jidoka, or situational awareness, means for groups developing large software systems.
There is no single methodology or approach that can be universally applied to solve all software problems. While past advances like high-level programming languages and time-sharing helped address accidental difficulties, the essential challenges of software development remain. These include complexity, the need for conformity, frequent changes, and the invisible nature of software. Future hopes include improved programming languages, object-oriented programming, artificial intelligence, and iterative development approaches. However, the author argues the fundamental difficulties inherent in software's conceptual nature and complex, changeable requirements cannot be fully solved by any single "silver bullet."
Agile development focuses on effective communication, customer collaboration, and incremental delivery of working software. The key principles of agile development according to the Agile Alliance include satisfying customers, welcoming changing requirements, frequent delivery, collaboration between business and development teams, and self-organizing teams. Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile process model that emphasizes planning with user stories, simple design, pair programming, unit testing, and frequent integration and testing.
The document discusses the concept of software craftsmanship as an alternative to software engineering. It argues that software development is more of a craft than an engineering discipline, and emphasizes putting people and skill back at the center of the process. Key aspects of software craftsmanship include apprenticeships, mentoring between masters and apprentices/journeymen, valuing experience and reputation over degrees/certifications, collaborative development, and an emphasis on creating robust, long-lasting applications. Customers benefit from trusting and collaborating with skilled craftsmen over large teams following rigid processes.
Seven Deadly Habits of Dysfunctional Software ManagersTechWell
As if releasing a quality software project on time were not difficult enough, poor management dealing with planning, people, and process issues can be deadly to a project. Presenting a series of anti-pattern case studies, Ken Whitaker describes the most common deadly habits-and ways to avoid them. These seven killer habits are mishandling employee incentives; making key decisions by consensus; ignoring proven processes; delegating absolute control to a project manager; taking too long to negotiate a project's scope; releasing an "almost tested" product to market; and hiring someone who is not quite qualified-but liked by everyone. Whether you are an experienced manager struggling with some of these issues or a new software manager, you'll take away invaluable tips and techniques correcting these habits-or better yet, avoiding them altogether. As a bonus, every attendee will receive a copy of Ken's full-color 7 Deadly Habits comic .
This document summarizes a study on why IT projects fail. It analyzed 214 IT projects across various industries in Europe from 1998-2005. It found that only about 1 in 8 projects were truly successful. The largest percentage of projects (40.6%) were cancelled after the design stage due to issues like poor business alignment, requirements management, and going over budget. The top reasons for project cancellation included poor requirements management, overstating business benefits, and budget overruns.
Software Engineering is the set of processes and tools to develop software. Software Engineering is the combination of all the tools, techniques, and processes that used in software production. Therefore Software Engineering encompasses all those things that are used in software production like :
Programming Language
Programming Language Design
Software Design Techniques
Tools
Testing
Maintenance
Development etc.
These days object-oriented programming is widely being used. If programming languages will not support object-orientation then it will be very difficult to implement object-oriented design using object-oriented principles. All these efforts made the basis of software engineering.
The document summarizes agile software development methods. It describes agile as an iterative approach that promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, rapid response to change, and close collaboration between self-organizing teams. The key characteristics of agile include iterative development with incremental releases, a people-oriented focus, lightweight processes, and test-driven development. The document also outlines the agile manifesto and lists benefits and situations where agile may not be suitable.
The document discusses using feature points for agile release planning. It defines feature points and how they can be used to estimate user stories, features, and epics at different levels of a project. The key points are: feature points provide relative estimates independent of time units; epics are estimated by POs and architects, features by team leads, and stories by scrum teams; velocity is tracked in feature points to predict sprint and release completion; and principles for agile estimation emphasize basing estimates on facts, estimating often and small chunks, and communicating assumptions.

Exploring Windows XP to 7 Migration OptionsDavid Strom
In this speech for the Chicago Windows User Group, I review six different technologies that both individuals and enterprise IT managers can use to migrate XP desktops to Windows 7.
This document outlines a six step process for organizations to migrate to Windows 7: 1) inventory readiness to discover all software and hardware, 2) initial OS deployment using scripted installation or file-based imaging, 3) user state migration to transfer user-specific files and settings, 4) software distribution to easily schedule applications, 5) patch management for Windows 7 and applications, and 6) asset management for license and cost analysis. The Kace appliance helps streamline all stages by providing network scanning, smart imaging, user state migration workflows, software/patch deployment, and centralized asset reporting.

IT Application Development - with SDLC.pptxdjualaja88
The document discusses application development for banking, including defining information systems and application development. It covers the software development life cycle (SDLC) process and its importance. The SDLC phases include planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, and support. Planning involves identifying the system needs, creating a project plan, and conducting feasibility assessments. Analysis defines requirements through gathering and documentation. Design develops the system details. The other phases implement, test, and provide ongoing support for the application.
This document discusses software project management. It begins by defining what constitutes a project and size categories of software projects from trivial to extremely large. It then addresses that while software projects are similar to other projects, the invisibility of progress, complexity, and flexibility of software make them more difficult to manage. In the 1990s, analyses found that only 10% of software projects were delivered on time and budget, with management discipline being more important than technology. The document goes on to discuss activities covered by project management and introduces the waterfall model for examining software project frameworks both in theory and in practice.
Agile software development is a group of software development methods in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, continuous improvement, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change.
The Agile development model is also a type of Incremental model. Software is developed in incremental, rapid cycles. This results in small incremental releases with each release building on previous functionality. Each release is thoroughly tested to ensure software quality is maintained. It is used for time critical applications.
The document discusses agile software development and extreme programming (XP). It defines agility as effective response to change through communication, flexible planning, and incremental delivery. XP emphasizes rapid delivery, customer collaboration, unit testing, pair programming, and refactoring code. The debate around XP includes whether its informal requirements and lack of formal design can accommodate complex systems with changing needs. Other agile processes mentioned include Scrum, DSDM, Crystal, and Agile Modeling.

2. ❿ IT’S ALL IN THE PLANNING
Get all project stakeholders in one room and review:
The goal of your Windows 7 migration:
Why are we migrating, and how will we benefit?
Project success markers and priorities:
What is most important-- end user satisfaction, speed of deployment, cost?
Potential, ongoing challenges:
What are some potential obstacles-- insufficient physical resources, restrictive
budget, office relocation, poor application inventory?
The risk:
What is the worst-case scenario for each project component, and what are our
back-up plans?

3. ❾ IDENTIFY SUB-PROJECTS NOW
The move to Windows 7 is an opportunity to
get your assets, applications and data in order.
Recognize these potential sub-projects in advance:
Desktop Management
- Mobility Management (Your Windows 7 asset inventory can be the framework).
- Application Management (Your Windows 7 application inventory can be the start).
- Virtualization (Evaluate your desktop virtualization and remote access strategy).
Compatibility
- Hardware (Determine minimum hardware requirements for all computers).
- Software (Application upgrades, including Office 2010, Enterprise
apps, custom applications and plug-ins).
Strategic Projects
- IT Infrastructure (Server consolidation, data center enhancements, office
moves, cloud services, mobility management and BYOD).
- Security ( Data Leakage Prevention, data governance, policy changes, compliance
considerations, secure remote access authentication).

4. ❽ MASTER THE MASTER LIST
Get your hands on the master project list
Review and understand every major project going on
within your organization:
Check with all team leads and managers (what are you working on?)
- Is there a cross-departmental project tracking tool?
Share the list with your team and anyone who can provide insight.
Understand the business purpose of each project, their importance, and how
they can potentially impact your migration.
Communicate up and down the management chain.
Plan regular meetings to stay abreast of all major happenings.

5. ❼ TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER
Identify stakeholders, team leads, and PM’s
for every project.
Who understands and controls each given project?
Hint: sometimes it’s engineers or trainers, not necessarily project managers or team leads.
Introduce yourself, each other, and your projects. Explain why regular communication is
imperative, and what you can do to help each other.
Share your Project Plan – ask for theirs.
Share project deliverables, important milestones, and
communicate how each project might impact the other.
Create a calendar for regular project updates.
TALK TO EACH OTHER!
5
6. ❻ SEE IT FROM ALL ANGLES
Understand the project scope and deliverables
from all points of view.
Know exactly how every decision will impact your:
Project team
Business and finance departments
Compliance department
Training and communications
Helpdesk and support
Senior executives
Operations and human resources
END USERS
Ask detailed questions about the project impact from those different
perspectives– get all departments/perspectives involved.

7. ❺ LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES
Reflect on past projects and previous migrations
What specific pain points affected your previous migration(s)?
Desktop design and build
- Were all the necessary applications included in your core computing platform?
- Did you identify appropriate minimum hardware standards?
Application management
- Were all of your applications compatible with the new OS?
- Did you leverage your application inventory as the start of an app management strategy?
Training and communication
- Did your users know what changes were coming, and why they were necessary?
- Did your users know how to use the new OS upon day 1 of deployment?
Desktop and end user migration
- Did your users have the hardware necessary to fully leverage your OS migration?
- Did you lose data during a pilot migration?
Help desk and ongoing support
- Was there enough floor support to address post-deployment end user problems?
- Did you create a documented ticket escalation system for fast and efficient problem resolution?
If you weren’t with your organization during the previous OS migration, find
someone who was and review how each phase went and was perceived.

8. ❹ PLAN FOR PROBLEMS
Always have Plans B and C– you’ll need them
Start by assessing your risk
What happens if this doesn’t go as planned? How does this impact – the project? The
business? End users? Other projects?
Always know what your risks are, and what impact worst-case scenarios will have.
Understand interdependencies
How does one project component affect another?
Plan B and C can be your best friend
Assume your best-laid plans won’t work. Having contingency plans will ensure that small
hurdles don’t become major blockades.
Weigh tolerance for discomfort (workarounds) vs. tolerance for delay
What is your corporate culture, and what is most important to senior-level executives and
your end users? Consider your organization’s priorities with every decision you make.
TEST TEST TEST!
The longer the pilot, the better. A 2-3 week pilot period with a cross-departmental/location
reach will make for the least amount of problems upon rollout.

9. ❸ IDENTIFY POTENTIAL GOT-YA’S NOW
Pinpoint possible sticking points before they arise.
Some projects that affect deployment
Upgrades to Desktop Management Tools
Hardware Procurement
Printer Upgrades
Facilities/Operations Projects (moves, build outs, cabling, new apps)
HR Events (hiring programs)
Some projects that affect end users
All of the above
New Applications/Functionality
Updated App/Asset request process
Remote access changes
Exchange Upgrade
Desktop Virtualization

10. ❷ COMMUNICATION IS KEY!
Effective and regular communication is the
crux of every successful OS migration
Communicate before you begin:
Explain to users why the migration is occurring/how they’ll be impacted.
Across departments to ensure that there are no upcoming projects that could potentially
impact your migration.
Talk to senior executives—find out likes and dislikes of the current IT infrastructure, what
they’d like to see in a new OS, and what their priorities are.
Communicate during your migration:
Keep your users aware of all important activities that can potentially impact them.
Across departments to report on any bumps in the road.
With key executives to stay current on all major organizational events/changes.
Communicate after your migration:
Keep tabs on your users to make sure they don’t have any problems.
With all divisions to ensure that a departmental issue doesn’t have a wide-reaching affect.
To executives to ensure that everyone has what they need.
