29. Introduce & Establish
Agile ALM
February 5, 2015 Copyright © 2015, Software.Process.Management 29

30. Build Your Own Agile Practices &
Tool Support
Invite teams to adopt agile values & to establish agile practices
 Value “people & interactions over processes & tools”
 Value “responding to change over following a plan”
Build ALM tool infrastructure that effectively supports agile practices
Start with pilot project of “agile champions” & grow gradually
Integrate agile & non-agile development into overall ALM framework
