Transforming Software Delivery: An IBM Rational Case Study
In 2007, the IBM Rational Development organization realized they needed to make improvements in their development lifecycle. Just a glance at their existing metrics and internal targets made it clear that they needed to improve.
They were behind on several of their goals, some more off-track than others. But across the board, they clearly needed to take significant steps toward improving their business and their customers' satisfaction. Therefore, they decided to move from entrenched, not-as-flexible processes such as waterfall and classic iterative software development methodologies to an agile process, with a specific focus placed on measuring the improvements.
This white paper explores that transformational journey, highlighting:
- How to improve team collaboration
- Why agile practices are essential
- How to gain development intelligence
- And more!
