“'Agile' is one of the biggest buzzwords of the last decade. Agile methods often come across as rather more complicated than they really are. This book is an attempt to unravel that complexity. To simplify the concepts. This book breaks the concepts into small bite-sized pieces that are easy to understand and easy to implement and delivers the message in a friendly and conversational style. Allaboutagile.com is one of the most popular blogs about agile on the web. ”

Yes, I want this!I think I’ve been pretty successful in my career. But if I was better at planning, I wouldn’t have achieved half the things I’ve achieved in my career! In fact, I wouldn’t even have started some of them… In reality, there are some things you can plan, and some things you can’t. The trouble is, […]
Tell me more >Planning Poker is an estimating technique used by many agile software development teams. Like many agile development techniques, Planning Poker is very simple. Simple, but effective. First of all, agile teams should ideally estimate together. As a team. If the team is big, and people are working on different products, it’s okay to split the […]
Tell me more >George Dinwiddie has written an excellent blog post about Agility Versus Predictability. In this post, George challenges the idea that traditional (waterfall) software development projects are more predictable than agile projects. He also give a very clear explanation about how to do Agile Release Planning. Kelly. Photo by bb matt
Tell me more >Several years after I first encountered it, I still find MoSCoW one of the easiest methods for prioritization… The MoSCoW approach to prioritization originated from the DSDM methodology (Dynamic Software Development Method), which was possibly the first agile methodology (?) – even before we knew iterative development as ‘agile’. MoSCoW is a fairly simple way […]
Tell me more >A while ago I wrote about a fairly simple technique explaining how to prioritise quickly and intuitively… Following this blog post, I got into an email discussion with Scott Sehlhorst from Tyner Blain. He extended the idea brilliantly, which I blogged about. His idea was to make the approach more quantitive, using business value as […]
Tell me more >Projects are a necessary evil 🙂 But necessary they are. Some people really feel the need to understand precisely what the project will cost and exactly long it will take. If this is the basis for investment, of course that’s a completely understandable feeling. For years, traditional waterfall projects have been sold on the false […]
Tell me more >A software release may result from multiple iterations (or ‘Sprints’ in Scrum). Sprint Planning is about planning what’s included in the next iteration. Whereas Release Planning is about planning multiple Sprints, in order to predict when a release (or releases) might be delivered. Release Planning is a very simple way of doing some top-down planning. […]
Tell me more >If we accept the above formula, why in non agile development methods is there so much emphasis on analysis, planning and change control? High level planning, such as a feature list (or Product Backlog in Scrum), and an outline plan based on the affordable team size; Yes. Otherwise you’ve no idea what you’re in for. […]
