Disciplined Agile Delivery: A Practitioner's Guide to Agile Software Delivery in the Enterprise (Paperback)

Master IBM’s Breakthrough DAD Process Framework for Succeeding with Agile in Large, Complex, Mission-Critical IT Projects

It is widely recognized that moving from traditional to agile approaches to build software solutions is a critical source of competitive advantage. Mainstream agile approaches that are indeed suitable for small projects require significant tailoring for larger, complex enterprise projects. In Disciplined Agile Delivery, Scott W. Ambler and Mark Lines introduce IBM’s breakthrough Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework, which describes how to do this tailoring. DAD applies a more disciplined approach to agile development by acknowledging and dealing with the realities and complexities of a portfolio of interdependent program initiatives.

Ambler and Lines show how to extend Scrum with supplementary agile and lean strategies from Agile Modeling (AM), Extreme Programming (XP), Kanban, Unified Process (UP), and other proven methods to provide a hybrid approach that is adaptable to your organization’s unique needs. They candidly describe what practices work best, why they work, what the trade-offs are, and when to consider alternatives, all within the context of your situation.

Disciplined Agile Delivery addresses agile practices across the entire lifecycle, from requirements, architecture, and development to delivery and governance. The authors show how these best-practice techniques fit together in an end-to-end process for successfully delivering large, complex systems--from project initiation through delivery.

Coverage includes

• Scaling agile for mission-critical enterprise endeavors
• Avoiding mistakes that drive poorly run agile projects to chaos
• Effectively initiating an agile project
• Transitioning as an individual to agile
• Incrementally building consumable solutions
• Deploying agile solutions into complex production environments
• Leveraging DevOps, architecture, and other enterprise disciplines
• Adapting your governance strategy for agile projects

Based on facts, research, and extensive experience, this book will be an indispensable resource for every enterprise software leader and practitioner--whether they’re seeking to optimize their existing agile/Scrum process or improve the agility of an iterative process.

IBM的突破性DAD流程框架：在大型、複雜、關鍵的IT專案中成功應用敏捷方法

廣泛認識到，從傳統方法轉向敏捷方法來建立軟體解決方案是一個重要的競爭優勢來源。主流的敏捷方法確實適用於小型專案，但對於更大、更複雜的企業專案需要進行重大調整。在《紀律敏捷交付》一書中，Scott W. Ambler和Mark Lines介紹了IBM的突破性紀律敏捷交付（DAD）流程框架，該框架描述了如何進行這種調整。DAD通過承認和處理相互依賴的項目計劃的現實和複雜性，對敏捷開發採取了更加紀律的方法。

Ambler和Lines展示了如何通過從敏捷建模（AM）、極限編程（XP）、看板、統一過程（UP）和其他經過驗證的方法中引入補充的敏捷和精益策略，提供一種適應組織獨特需求的混合方法。他們坦率地描述了哪些實踐效果最好，為什麼有效，有哪些權衡，以及在什麼情況下應考慮替代方案，所有這些都在您的情況下進行。

《紀律敏捷交付》涵蓋了整個生命周期的敏捷實踐，從需求、架構和開發到交付和治理。作者展示了這些最佳實踐技術如何在一個端到端的流程中相互配合，成功交付大型、複雜的系統，從專案啟動到交付。

內容包括：
- 將敏捷方法擴展到關鍵的企業專案
- 避免導致敏捷專案混亂的錯誤
- 有效啟動敏捷專案
- 個人轉向敏捷的過渡
- 逐步構建可用的解決方案
- 在複雜的生產環境中部署敏捷解決方案
- 利用DevOps、架構和其他企業學科
- 為敏捷專案調整治理策略

本書基於事實、研究和豐富的經驗，對於每一位企業軟體領導者和從業人員都是一個不可或缺的資源，無論他們是在優化現有的敏捷/Scrum流程還是改善迭代流程的敏捷性。
