Agile Adoption Patterns: A Roadmap to Organizational Success

Thinking of moving to Agile? Use this cheat sheet as a guide for crafting an Agile adoption strategy or as a companion to the book, Agile Adoption Patterns: A Roadmap for Organizational Success, to choose which practices to adapt, monitor their success in delivering your goals, and adapting (or even dropping) those practices to fit your environment.

Introduction

We adopt new practices in the hopes of improving the way we build software. As experience with Agile software development grows many organizations are looking for ways to successfully adopt Agile practices. It is important to note, however, that the word success is a relative one – success with respect to what? When you or I hear that an organization “adopted Agile successfully” we should ask: what value did that company get from adopting Agile? If we can’t answer that question, then the success is questionable and may not be legitimate.

This cheat sheet can be used as a stand-alone guide for crafting an Agile adoption strategy or as a companion to Agile Adoption Patterns: A Roadmap for Organizational Success to choose which practices to adapt, monitor their success in delivering your goals, and adapting (or even dropping) those practices to fit your environment.

Minutes from the October 2009 Meeting

The minutes from the Santa Cruz (October 2009) meeting are available here. Even if you're not a language layer at heart, I encourage you to read them.

A Reader's Opinion on Attributes: By Danny Kalev on October 20, 2009 No Comments; In August I dedicated a series to the debate about C++0x attributes. I believe that it covered the subject in a balanced and detailed way, but I keep getting complaints from C++ users who don't like attributes for various reasons. Here's a recent email I received from a Polish C++ programmer. While it doesn't represent my opinion about attributes -- I'm rather neutral about this feature and consider it a "solution waiting for a problem" -- but it suggests that attributes are still a highly controversial issue that will haunt C++ for a long time. The email is quoted here with minor edits that and as usual, with all private details removed.

Followup: The Web 2.0 Guy I Ain't: By Danny Kalev on October 16, 2009 1 Comment; Almost a year ago, I posted here The Web 2.0 Guy I Ain't. People wonder whether I still resist all those Web 2.0 features and technologies at the end of 2009.
