Crazy Talk: Examining Why Agile Software Development Works
TS-3987

Many large organizations have adopted Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform) for mission-critical software development but still choose to hobble Java technology developers with the traditional techniques of yesteryear. They do this in the name of risk reduction, not realizing that they are putting the project team at risk due to inappropriate process-related decisions. Agile software development (ASD) methods have been proven in practice to scale--after all, the Eclipse project follows an agile approach. This presentation discusses the evidence showing that traditional approaches don't work very well for J2EE platform-based projects, let alone the COBOL projects they were created for. It also includes an overview of advanced techniques such as Scrum, agile change management, database refactoring, database testing, Agile Model Driven Development (AMDD), and agile documentation strategies. You've chosen the right technologies; now you need to choose the right processes. The presentation also discusses the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) and how to use it to choose the right process.
