 The 80’s and 90’s saw a rush to implement software improvement programs to add rigor to chaotic and uncontrolled development discipline. This has left a legacy of waterfall development, in which prescriptiveness wins out over agility. This session looks at how organisations can achieve the right balance of control and agility by weaving new practices into the existing software life cycle. |
Key Issues:
|
- Why do plan-driven and prescriptive processes look enticing, but are often smoke and mirrors?
- How are BPM, SOA and Web 2.0 stressing old-style waterfall application development and do they require a new approach?
- How to integrate lean and agile principles and practices into an existing development process?
