Integrating CMMI and Agile Development: Case Studies and Proven Techniques for Faster Performance Improvement (Paperback)

“This book will be a great help to a variety of organizations figuring out how best to implement CMMI, including large and small enterprises, even if their starting point is not ‘Agile.’ All-in-all, this contains ‘pearls of wisdom’ that will make a much-appreciated contribution to the software engineering community.”

– Mike Konrad, Chief Architect, CMMI, Software Engineering Institute; coauthor, CMMI®: Guidelines for Process Integration and Product Improvement, Second Edition

 

“This book will challenge many of your (mis)understandings about both Agile delivery and CMMI. Paul thoughtfully applies his years of practical experience to help bridge two disparate communities who are working towards the same goal–improving an organization’s IT productivity. It’s about time someone wrote a book like this.”

– Scott W. Ambler, Chief Methodologist for Agile and Lean, IBM Rational; author, Agile Modeling; and coauthor, Enterprise Unified Process 

Many organizations that have improved process maturity through Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®) now also want greater agility. Conversely, many organizations that are succeeding with Agile methods now want the benefits of more mature processes. The solution is to integrate CMMI and Agile. Integrating CMMI® and Agile Development offers broad guidance for melding these process improvement methodologies. It presents six detailed case studies, along with essential real-world lessons, big-picture insights, and mistakes to avoid.

Drawing on decades of process improvement experience, author Paul McMahon explains how combining an Agile approach with the CMMI process improvement framework is the fastest, most effective way to achieve your business objectives. He offers practical, proven techniques for CMMI and Agile integration, including new ways to extend Agile into system engineering and project management and to optimize performance by focusing on your organization’s unique, culture-related weaknesses.

「整合CMMI®和敏捷開發」提供了廣泛的指導，以融合這些流程改進方法。它提供了六個詳細的案例研究，以及必要的實際經驗教訓、整體洞察和應避免的錯誤。

作者Paul McMahon借鑒了數十年的流程改進經驗，解釋了將敏捷方法與CMMI流程改進框架相結合是實現業務目標的最快、最有效的方法。他提供了CMMI和敏捷整合的實用、經過驗證的技術，包括將敏捷擴展到系統工程和項目管理，並通過關注組織獨特的、與文化相關的弱點來優化績效。
