Leffingwell, Dean.
Scaling software agility : best practices for large enterprises / Dean Leffingwell. - Upper Saddle River, NJ : Addison-Wesley, 2007. - xxix, 349 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. - The Agile software development series .
Includes bibliographical references (p. 327-330) and index.
Introduction to Agile Methods -- Why The Waterfall Model Doesn't Work -- The Essence of XP -- The Essence of SCRUM -- The Essence of RUP -- Lean Software, FDD and DSDM -- The Essence of Agile -- The Challenge of Scaling Agile -- The Define/Build/Test Component Team -- Two Level Planning and Tracking -- Mastering the Iteration -- Smaller, More Frequent Releases -- Concurrent Testing -- Continuous Integration -- Regular Reflection and Adaptation -- Intentional Architecture -- Lean Requirements at Scale: Vision, Roadmap and Just-In-Time Elaboration -- Systems of Systems and The Agile Release Train -- Managing Highly Distributed Agile Teams -- Impact on Customers and Operations -- Changing the Organization -- Measuring Business Performance.
Companies have been implementing large agile projects for a number of years, but the ‘stigma’ of ‘agile only works for small projects’ continues to be a frequent barrier for newcomers and a rallying cry for agile critics. What has been missing from the agile literature is a solid, practical book on the specifics of developing large projects in an agile way. Dean Leffingwell’s book Scaling Software Agility fills this gap admirably. It offers a practical guide to large project issues such as architecture, requirements development, multi-level release planning, and team organization. Leffingwell’s book is a necessary guide for large projects and large organizations making the transition to agile development.
