Localization in an Agile Development Environment

  • 1. Agile in Localization March 2011 Adam Blau
  • 2. Agile vs Waterfall?
  • 3. WHY IS AGILE HARDER? Different Mindset: Must be able to embrace and support rapid release cycles. Deeper integration & more management: Support and integrate into clients’ teams, regular collaboration and feedback amongst key stakeholders. Cost Structure: Traditional manual workflow service models charge project management and language minimum fees Implementation of automation technology is costly; complexity and production implications can be underestimated.
  • 4.
  • 5. Provide context for translation
  • 6. Automate file transfers and build integration.
  • 7. Involve all stakeholders early to define and agree to iteration schedule
  • 8. Define independent iterations for translation to match release cycles, prioritize by locale
  • 9.
  • 10. Background Sample sprint schedule Dev. L10N
  • 11. Background 2. Early Sprint Management
  • 12.
  • 13. Speed is of the essence.
  • 14. Balance speed, time and quality reflective of the company culture.
  • 16. 100% approved but not released
  • 17.
  • 18. If MT was used for testing purposes, re-translate or invest in significant post-editing.
  • 19.
  • 20. Cross-check found issues in all locales.
  • 21.
  • 22. Background Twosolutions Deploy TMS in-house or SaaS Highest automation level High deployment and operational costs Overrides processes at vendor side A better service model Agreement on time frames, monthly budgets. Reports instead of approvals. Automate the file transfer, use a vendor that can handle the rest. Ask for a vendor dashboard or maintain a burn down chart to track and report on costs.
  • 23. Background Takeaways With the proper business case, determine if pure Agile or hybrid is best for your organization. Establish processes with your localization vendor to reduce project management headaches from daily translation activities and increase collaboration. I18n must be core in-house focus and has bigger impact on l10n costs than other variable factors combined.
