Proven Patterns and Techniques for Succeeding with Agile in Your Organization

 

Agile methods promise to help you create software that delivers far more business value—and do it faster, at lower cost, and with less pain. However, many organizations struggle with implementation and leveraging these methods to their full benefit. In this book, Amr Elssamadisy identifies the powerful lessons that have been learned about successfully moving to agile and distills them into 30 proven agile adoption patterns.

 

Elssamadisy walks you through the process of defining your optimal agile adoption strategy with case studies and hands-on exercises that illuminate the key points. He systematically examines the most common obstacles to agile implementation, identifying proven solutions. You’ll learn where to start, how to choose the best agile practices for your business and technical environment, and how to adopt agility incrementally, building on steadily growing success.

 

Next, he presents the definitive agile adoption pattern reference: all the information you need to implement the strategy that you’ve already defined. Utilizing the classic pattern format, he explains each agile solution in its proper context, revealing why it works—and how to make the most of it. The pattern reference prepares you to

 

  • Understand the core drivers, principles, and values associated with agile success
  • Tightly focus development on delivering business value–and recognize the “smells” of a project headed off track
  • Gain rapid, effective feedback practices: iteration, kickoff and stand-up meetings, demos, retrospectives, and much more
  • Foster team development: co-location, self-organization, cross-functional roles, and how to bring the customer aboard
  • Facilitate technical tasks and processes: testing, refactoring, continuous integration, simple design, collective code ownership, and pair programming
  • Act as an effective coach, learning to engage the community and promote learning
  • Integrate “clusters” of agile practices that work exceptionally well together

 

Agile Adoption Patterns will help you whether you’re planning your first agile project, trying to improve your next project, or evangelizing agility throughout your organization. This actionable advice is designed to work with any agile method, from XP and Scrum to Crystal Clear and Lean. The practical insights will make you more effective in any agile project role: as leader, developer, architect, or customer.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在您的組織中成功應用敏捷方法的經驗證模式和技巧

敏捷方法承諾能夠幫助您創建提供更多商業價值的軟體,並且以更快、更低成本和更少痛苦的方式實現。然而,許多組織在實施和利用這些方法的過程中遇到困難,無法充分受益。在這本書中,Amr Elssamadisy確定了成功轉向敏捷的重要教訓,並將它們提煉成30個經過驗證的敏捷採用模式。

Elssamadisy通過案例研究和實踐練習引導您制定最佳的敏捷採用策略,以闡明關鍵點。他系統地檢視了敏捷實施中最常見的障礙,並確定了經過驗證的解決方案。您將學習從何處開始,如何選擇最適合您的業務和技術環境的敏捷實踐,以及如何逐步採用敏捷方法,建立不斷增長的成功。

接下來,他提供了明確的敏捷採用模式參考資料:您需要實施已經定義的策略的所有信息。利用經典的模式格式,他解釋了每個敏捷解決方案的適當背景,揭示了它為什麼有效以及如何充分利用它。這個模式參考資料將使您能夠:

- 瞭解與敏捷成功相關的核心驅動因素、原則和價值觀
- 將開發重點緊密集中在提供商業價值上,並識別項目偏離軌道的「跡象」
- 獲得快速、有效的反饋實踐:迭代、啟動和站立會議、演示、回顧等等
- 促進團隊發展:共同位置、自我組織、跨職能角色,以及如何吸引客戶
- 促進技術任務和流程:測試、重構、持續集成、簡單設計、集體代碼擁有權和配對編程
- 成為一個有效的教練,學習如何參與社區並促進學習
- 整合在一起極其有效的敏捷實踐「群集」

《敏捷採用模式》將幫助您無論是計劃您的第一個敏捷項目,嘗試改進您的下一個項目,還是在整個組織中宣揚敏捷性。這些可行的建議適用於任何敏捷方法,從XP和Scrum到Crystal Clear和Lean。這些實用的見解將使您在任何敏捷項目角色中更加有效:作為領導者、開發人員、架構師或客戶。
