Agile Software Development
Not being too attached to your initial idea of what the project will look like and to be ready for change and to refactor.
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.
Agile methodology is a framework for modern software development.
What is the philosophy behind Agile?
How does it differ from traditional project management strategies like waterfall?
What are the stages, meetings, tools, and team roles?
What is Scrum?
Scrum is the world's most popular agile software development methodology. But does it really bring the benefits that it promises and, more importantly, is it right for your business? In this presentation, learn how Scrum can maximize your delivery team's ROI and empower you for long-term success.
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.

This session will have something for everyone. For the person new to Agile Development, this will provide a basic knowledge to distinguish Agile development from traditional Waterfall development. For those that have some knowledge, this will provide some practical examples and stories about what is happening in the “real world”.
We are in tough financial times, and are being ask to do more than ever with less people. Faster, better, and cheaper is the new mantra for organizations. Companies that will survive and endure for the long haul are looking for different and better ways to deliver software and are discovering Agile development as a possible answer. How do you get started with Agile practices? What are some lessons learned that I can watch out for as we get started? What will Agile fix
and what will it expose? In this session, these questions and others will be answered.
We will also explore how Agile development came to be and provide a foundational knowledge of the common practices including the Scrum framework and Extreme Programming (XP).
An overview of the Agile Manifesto and the principles and practices that define Agile software development. A comparison of Agile Development methodologies and an organisational culture that supports them
Agile project management is an iterative method of determining requirements for engineering and information technology development projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner. One difference between agile and iterative development is that the delivery time in agile is in weeks rather than months. Both iterative and Agile methodologies were developed as a reaction to various obstacles that developed in more traditional project management. For example, as technology projects grow in complexity, end users tend to have difficulty defining the long term requirements, without being able to view progressive prototypes. Projects that develop in iterations can constantly gather feedback to help refine those requirements.
What are the Tools & Techniques in Agile Project Management?Tuan Yang
Organizations, teams and even project management software are increasingly responding to a demand for more adaptive and evolutionary processes. In a fast-changing business world that needs to respond to rapid market and technology shifts, Agile delivers. Agile project management provides numerous benefits to organizations, project teams, and products.

» Set up an Agile project.
» Assign roles and responsibilities.
» Create a prioritized list of requirements.
» Define increments and timeboxes.
» Manage a Solution Development Team or Teams.
» Use Agile techniques such as Feature Driven Development.
» Present the benefits of Agile approaches to Senior Management.
Agile is software development technique in which the software is developed in a way that quality of software is good and the time required to development is less and the development takes place by parts, i.e. The software delivered to the user or customer by parts in a short period of time. The agile methodology introduced simple, easy to follow ideas that revolutionized how teams approach software delivery.
Learn the basics of the agile way-of-life that has helped many companies realize their potential in the market. The agile secret sauce was once a thing that was only enjoyed by software organizations on the East and West coasts, but is now invading Indianapolis -- increasing productivity, making teams empowered (and happier!), and helping managers focus less on the taskmaster role and more on the important stuff.

The Agile methodology - Delivering new ways of working, by Sandra Frechette, ...WiMLDSMontreal
"The Agile methodology - Delivering new ways of working"
By Sandra Frechette, Senior Consultant at Deloitte Digital
Abstract: The purpose of this talk is to explain the agile methodology and give real business cases about the implementation in companies transformation while discussing the myth that Agile projects dont only occur in IT implementations but in multiple lines of services.
Sandra helps clients transform organization to insight oriented organization to drive revenue, increase efficiency and reduce risk.
There are a lot of choices and alternatives for getting started with Agile. It can be confusing. This talk will give you a brief guided tour of Agile methodologies so that you have some understanding of how they are similar and how they differ. We'll cover some of the history of iterative development and waterfall as well as the Agile Manifesto to provide context. At the end of this, you will have an understanding of key principles and the Agile landscape.

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.

Internal presentation to sum up what it is (and what it is not) Agile.
It was designed as an introduction to the other presentation called "Agile methodologies in short": http://www.slideshare.net/lalaianohies/agile-methodologies-in-short
Small presentation to recap different agile methodologies (Kanban, Scrum, Scrumban) and how we can use them at Tangelo Games, regarding my personal experience.
This presentation is the continuation of "The agile way (Agile foundations)"
https://www.slideshare.net/lalaianohies/the-agile-way-agile-foundations/
This presentation introduces agile methodology, talks about scrum and the pros and cons of agile from a various perspectives. It also talks about cost of an agile project
I collated this simply as a conversation starter at the Scottish Public Sector Barcamp on 27-03-09. In the event I didn't get the opportunity and so was able to put the material 'in the bank' for another time. But on reflection it seemed silly not to make it available anyway - you can do your own voice-over!
How UX Can Drive the Vision of Future Products - Arttu NiskasaariUXPA International
Our existing B2B product has been developed for 15 years and the need for complete redesign was acknowledged in 2013.
Unusual for the software business in our country and field of business, this project for the brand new solution was driven by UX from the beginning. The main target was to introduce new level of collaboration between all company functions to formulate a shared vision for the future product.
It took us one year to move from user research to prototypes, and in the meantime our UX team grew from two to six persons. Hence, we will also talk a bit about organizing the work of the team to support several products and projects without sacrificing the long-term project.
In this session we will share our experiences and lessons-learned from working our way towards that vision with research based top-down approach.
Modern Agile – What's It Good For? - Jacob Creech - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
The Agile Manifesto has been around since 2001 and, although the industry has rapidly developed, the principles still hold very true. However, there are lots of great new ideas that people have been experimenting with since the Manifesto was signed and, in this talk, attendees will hear about a few of these developments, focusing on the concept of Modern Agile.
About Jacob Creech:
Jacob started out in web development around 2000 and discovered that people constantly asked for things they didn't actually need, which led him on a journey of discovery that ended up in this thing called 'Agile'. He found himself in China helping develop virtual products for Second Life and then as the one and only non-Chinese person in a web development agency – good for language practice, not so much for delivering amazing work.
After some time back in New Zealand on a usability product among other things, he returned to China to co-found an Agile consulting company, worked with a variety of large, impressive-sounding international companies at a scale that would make most New Zealand cities look tiny, and managed to stumble into a range of interesting opportunities all around Asia that kept him busy for the next few years.
However, after some time, he got the itch to return to NZ and ended up at Assurity in late 2015 where he now heads up the Agile practice and works with government and non-government clients to deliver work in ever-improving ways. In his spare time, he (poorly) plays table tennis and enjoys naming babies after entrepreneurs.
The development of software is planned in stages and steps that culminate in the construction of functional applications of software. As a start-up, you are a new bug in this competitive industry.
1010 guide is essentially a flowchart to help software managers choose an efficient software project management methodology based on the metrics they have. Differentiation between critical and non-critical projects which is followed by choosing the pre-defined metrics for the team. Finally a table corresponds to the options chosen and results in a straight forward selection of the appropriate SDLC based on the values given.

Accelerate Innovation & Productivity With Rapid Prototyping & Development - ...Attivio
Today, development teams typically need hundreds of person hours to develop an application or to fully
integrate a new platform. Prototypes and Proofs of Concept (PoC) also take many weeks (or even months)
to develop. If you could significantly reduce these timeframes, you would accelerate time to market and
expedite PoCs and rollouts. This advantage saves money and reduces the risk of missing features, late deliveries or inadequate testing.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Rapid development and delivery
In a fast-moving business environment, by the time the software is available for use, the original
reason for its procurement may have changed.
Focus is on quickly bringing product to market.

7. Software
Software evolve over time.
Almost everyone in the industry uses software that build and support by software engineers,
either use it directly or indirectly, so we all affected by it.
It is important because it affects nearly every aspect of our lives and has become necessary in
our commerce, our culture, and our everyday activities.
Software is instructions (computer programs) that when executed provide desired features,
functions, and performance; data structures that enable the programs to adequately manipulate
information, and descriptive information in both hard copy and virtual forms that describes the
operation and use of the programs[1]

8. Software Engineering
Software engineering enables us to build complex systems in a timely manner with high quality
and acceptable cost.
Computer software continues to be the single most important technology on the world stage.
Software engineering is (1) the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to
the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is the application of
engineering to software. (2) The study of approaches as in (1). [IEEE definition]

14. Principles
1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and contiguous delivery of
valuable software.
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change
for the customer’s competitive advantage.
3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference to the shorter timescale.
4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they
need, and trust them to get the job done.
6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a
development team is face-to-face conversation.

15. Principles
7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.
8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users
should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
10. Simplicity – the art of maximizing the amount of work not done – is essential.
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and
adjusts its behavior accordingly.

25. Agile Software Development in Business
For some types of software, such as safety-critical control system, where a complete analysis of
the system is essential, a plan-driven approach is the right one.
Apply agile when it is the best solution, don’t force it.
People hesitate from any change.

27. disadvantages
It is difficult to assess the effort required at the beginning of the software development life
cycle.
There is lack of emphasis on necessary designing and documentation.
The project can easily get taken off track if the customer representative is not clear.
