This book is a practical guide for new agile practitioners and
contains everything a new project manager needs to know to get up
to speed with agile practices quickly and sort out the hype and
dogma of pseudo-agile practices.The author lays out the general
guidelines for running an agile project with the assumption that
the project team may be working in a traditional environment (using
the waterfall model, or something similar). Agile Development in
the Real World conveys valuable insights to multiple audiences: For
new-to-agile project managers, this book provides a distinctive
approach that Alan Cline has used with great success, while showing
the decision points and perspectives as the agile project moves
forward from one step to the next. This allows new agile project
managers or agile coaches to choose between the benefits of agile
and the benefits of other methods. For the agile technical team
member, this book contains templates and sample project artifacts
to assist in learning agile techniques and to be used as exemplars
for the new practitioner's own project. For the Project Management
Office (PMO), the first three chapters focus on portfolio
management. They explain, for the agilists' benefit, how projects
are selected and approved, and why projects have an inherent
"shelf-life" that results in hard deadlines that may seem arbitrary
to traditional technical teams. What You Will Learn: How and why
the evolution of project management, from PM-1 (prescriptive) to
PM-2 (adaptive) affects modern 21st century project management. How
sociology (stakeholder management), psychology (team dynamics), and
anthropology (organizational culture) affect the way software is
developed today, and why it is far more effective A clear
delineation of what must to be accomplished by all the roles (PM,
BA, APM, Developer, and Tester), why those roles are needed, and
what they must do Step-by-step guide for a successful project based
on studies and the author's own experiences. Specific techniques
for each role on the development team, both in the pre-iteration
and iteration cycles, of product development. The appendices
contain templates that the team could use or modify to tailor their
own agile processes specific to the team, project, and
organization.
