Book description
Who Says Large Teams Can’t Handle Agile Software Development?
Agile or "lightweight" processes have revolutionized the software development industry. They're faster and more efficient than traditional software development processes. They enable developers to
embrace requirement changes during the project
deliver working software in frequent iterations
focus on the human factor in software development
Unfortunately, most agile processes are designed for small or mid-sized software development projects–bad news for large teams that have to deal with rapid changes to requirements. That means all large teams!
With Agile Software Development in the Large, Jutta Eckstein–a leading speaker and consultant in the agile community–shows how to scale agile processes to teams of up to 200. The same techniques are also relevant to teams of as few as 10 developers, especially within large organizations.
Topics include
the agile value system as used in large teams
the impact of a switch to agile processes
the agile coordination of several sub-teams
the way project size and team size influence the underlying architecture
Stop getting frustrated with inflexible processes that cripple your large projects! Use this book to harness the efficiency and adaptability of agile software development.
