This book: Provides a foundation for enterprise agility, value streams, and a disciplined approach to DevOps; Is a pragmatic application of agile, lean, and traditional techniques for your enterprise-class environment; Overviews a strategy for teams to evolve a fit-for-purpose, flexible WoW that still supports a consistent governance strategy for leadership; and Makes a perfect study guide for Disciplined Agile certification.

The Unified Process is a development methodology that is geared to the creation of object-oriented component-based software. It is a process that has been developed and promoted by Rational Software, Inc. and the developers of the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The books of this four-volume series are designed to address each of the four phases of the UP process; inception, elaboration, construction, and transition. Each volume will present a collection of best practices that can be used as guidelines in the implementation of the respective phase of development. Editor Scott Ambler has compiled a collection of articles from Software Development magazine that will present the wisdom of industry luminaries such as Steve McConnell, Peter Coad, Larry Constantine, Karl Wiegers, Capers Jones, Martin Fowler, Clemens Szyperski, Meilir Page-Jones, Tom McCabe, Edward Yourdon and many others. This volume, concentrating on the construction phase, will focus on the design and implementation of new systems in an iterative and incremental manner.

Part of a new four-volume series presenting best practices using UP to develop object-oriented, component-based software, this book examines the second UP phase--elaboration--focusing on defining, validating, and baselining the architecture for a system. Illustrations throughout.

How does a small development team in an established enterprise apply Disciplined Agile (DA) strategies to successfully improve their agility and provide real valueto their stakeholders? Find out how in Introduction to Disciplined Agile Delivery Second Edition. This guide to Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) provides the foundation from which to scale agile and lean software development strategies, enabling teams to succeed in the unique situations they face-remembering that context counts. Starting with a Scrum-based approach, we'll show you how the team learns from their experiences and evolves into a lean life cycle, then to a continuous delivery lifecycle within a DevOps environment. We begin with an overview of DAD and work through a case study that describes a team's learnings through several releases of a mission-critical solution.You'll find out how DAD: Gives you the flexibility to use various approaches while covering gaps not addressed by mainstream agile practices; Describes proven strategies that show how programming, design, testing, architecture, analysis, deployment, and many more aspects of solution delivery fit together in a streamlined whole; Shows you how to turn the agile software development dial all the way up!
