This document discusses applying both waterfall and iterative development models to a project to develop a tool with minimum functionality in a short time for an operating lease business. It identifies challenges of growing business needs, lack of standardized processes and manual data entry. An assessment is proposed to clarify requirements and scope. Both waterfall and iterative development models are described. The document recommends using iterative development within the waterfall model to allow for prototyping, user feedback and flexibility to changes. Key success factors include collaborative teams, monitoring progress daily, and continual improvement between iterations. Lessons focus on managing risks, quality processes and using story point estimation.
A couple years ago, a company I was working with, asked me to share with them the use cases and benefits of Scrum. It must have really sparked the management’s interest as they asked me to come up with an Agile implementation strategy for the company. This is the presentation I would like to share with you as I believe many curious, mid size, web development shops out there might be seriously thinking about adopting Agile or some hybrid form to supplement their Waterfall process.
Agile management, or agile process management, or simply agile refers to an iterative, incremental method of managing the design and build activities of engineering, information technology and other business areas that aim to provide new product or service development in a highly flexible and interactive manner; an example is its application in Scrum, an original form of agile software development.

Value Driven Development by Dave Thomas Naresh Jain
Agile, OOP... are like good hygiene in the kitchen, it results in meals with consistent quality and predictable prep and service times. It doesn't result in great meals nor substantially impact the ROI! Lean Thinking clearly shows that the only way to make a significant impact is to improve the value chain by improving flow. If everyone is following best practices no one has competitive advantage. Major improvements in the value chain depend on continued disruptive innovations. Innovations leverage people and their ideas. We use case studies to illustrate the different business and technical innovations and their impact. We conclude with a discussion of how to build and leverage an innovation culture versus a sprint death march when dealing with high value time to market projects.

Applying Agile methods in a waterfall world seemed impossible until we discovered the 10 essential skills and tools. Five of these skills are organizational, while others translate the short intervals characteristic of Agile to the world outside of Software. User Stories becomes Boundary Conditions; Burn-down charts becomes Deliverable Hit Rate charts; Sprints become HW intervals; Sprint Retrospectives become Event Timeline Retrospectives, while the project as a whole is managed using Boundary Conditions. This presentation shows examples of these tools and shows examples of how they are applied.

Project success requires the creation of a suitable project execution and schedule plan, communication of that plan to all participants and stakeholders and ensuring the plan is executed. Successful project management means meeting all three goals (scope, time, and cost) – and satisfying the project’s sponsor!

Management of time uncertainty in agileijseajournal
Agile software development represents a major departure from traditional methods of software
engineering. It had huge impact on how software is developed worldwide. Agile software development
solutions are targeted at enhancing work at project level. But it may encounter some uncertainties in its
working. One of the key measures of the resilience of a project is its ability to reach completion, on time
and on budget, regardless of the turbulent and uncertain environment it may operate within. Uncertainty of
time is the problem which can lead to other uncertainties too. In uncertainty of time the main issue is that
the how much delay will be caused by the uncertain environment and if the project manager comes to know
about this delay before, then he can ask for that extra time from customer. So this paper tries to know about
that extra time and calculate it.
As more organizations begin to adopt agile on multiple, interdependent teams, how do we ensure that the success within a team can translate to success at the enterprise level?

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

10. When and why to apply Iterative Dev.?
10
• When to use Waterfall and Iterative Dev.?
• Why apply Iterative Dev. in Waterfall Project?
Waterfall Iterative Development
• Requirements are very well known;
• Product definition is clearly stable and deep.
• End users are limited involved on
development side.
• Full feature application must be delivered
within determined timeline.
• Project is large, expensive, complicated.
• Business objective are will defined;
• Functionality of the system is clearly visible;
• Working closely with customer with
collaborative environment.
• System can be modularized with rapid
deployment.
• Project can be simplified into smaller and
less complex.
• Better control of budget and schedule;
• Quick responding to changes.
• Better to speed-up development process.
• Better improve quality of the delivered product;
• Better to give more opportunities for customers to collaborate in development.
Also, iterative development is best suited to project where the problem is complex and may not be
fully understood at the beginning of the project.
11. • Did we build the thing right?
• Does the solutions satisfy the requirements that we defined?
• We haven’t ensured that we truly understand user needs and that
our solution will meet those needs?
Intermezzo!

12. Project Factors of successfully applied Iterative Dev.
12
• Approach planning in a customer-centric way.
Involve design and usability up front to ensure you are not just lumping together killer features, but
creating a comprehensive product that customer love.
• Use rapid prototyping tools.
Clickable wireframes can be done to plan out a substantial mock-up of the product before
development begins. It fast easy to modify and get customer feedback on.
• Define and get approval on Metadata ahead of development.
Often simple spreadsheets can be constructed and presented to the customers and sign-off during
initiation and planning.
• Start technically difficult but research development during planning.
There is no reason why a really difficult domain can’t be started on early to get schedule traction.
• Applying a collaborative environment
Cross-functional team (e.g., includes members with domain experts); customer collaboration with
Intensely collaborative
• One team philosophy
One fails we all fail. The project manager needs to enforce team accountability.
• Do regularly monitoring by daily basis (AM & PM time)
Do daily meeting to retrospective and discuss impediments. It allows for earlier identification and
management of risks and issues along with an immediate opportunity to escalate to senior
management, if needed.
• Don’t wait to start QA until the end
Inject sprint testing into your rigid development!
• Continual improvement on the each iteration
Lesson learned from previous iteration implemented in the next iteration
13. Lesson learned

• Closely manage risks and issues.
Agile tends to only focus on current impediments. Take the time to more formally track risks and issues
and schedule frequent discussions to track and manage project risks and issues across the overall
duration of the project.
• Ensure quality and thoroughness throughout the Agile process.
For example, a high-level requirements document may be constructed during Assessment or Iteration
0. This document should be iteratively built and update throughout the development iteration so that
by the end of the project, a comprehensive and accurate requirements document exists. This will
facilitate knowledge transfer, support, and maintenance activities.
• Story point relative estimation can be adopted
Estimating software development projects is hard. Traditional approaches involve a large upfront
detailed requirements gathering effort resulting in pages of complex documentation and a project plan
with estimated hours and moneys. Given the rising popularity of Agile development methodologies
and our customer’s increased focus on saving time and money we advocate quickly building a high-
level feature list and using Story Point Relative Estimation to more accurately estimate costs and level
of effort.
“Regardless of methodology, the majority of the strengths of both approaches
come from people working together towards a common goal”—accountability
leads to high-performing teams!
The waterfall model is a sequential design process, used in software development processes, in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing,Production/Implementation and Maintenance.
Iterative and Incremental development is any combination of both iterative design or iterative method and incremental build model for software development.
