Presentation Transcript: Right Sizing Agile Development
Agile development has now been in use for almost a decade. Why use Agile methods? What are the strengths of Agile? What are some common failure modes? What other lessons has the software industry learned about Agile development? In this presentation transcript, Steve McConnell--author of Code Complete, Rapid Development, and other software industry classics and CEO of Construx Software--draws on extensive consulting work to dissect Agile development. McConnell names the Agile practices that have worked well for Construx's clients, describes the failure modes of Agile practices that have failed to live up to the hype, and explains how to right size Agile development for your organization.
