About this title

Synopsis

Agile or "lightweight" processes have revolutionized the software development industry. They're faster and more efficient than traditional software development processes. They enable developers to embrace requirement changes during the project, deliver working software in frequent iterations, and focus on the human factor in software development.

Unfortunately, most agile processes are designed for small or mid-sized software development projects--bad news for large teams that have to deal with rapid changes to requirements. That means all large teams!

With Agile Software Development in the Large, Jutta Eckstein--a leading speaker and consultant in the agile community--shows how to scale agile processes to teams of 1 to 200. In fact, the same techniques are also relevant to teams of ten or more developers, especially within large organizations.

Topics include:
* the agile value system as used in large teams
* the impact of a switch to agile processes
* the agile coordination of several sub-teams
* the way project size and team size influence the underlying architecture

Stop getting frustrated with inflexible processes that cripple your large projects! Use this book to harness the efficiency and adaptability of agile software development.
