If you have ever worked on an Agile software development project, you know the
importance of face-to-face communication. Having both business and IT
professionals working together in the same room can become the critical success
factor. Can Agile be successful though when team members are scattered across
rooms, buildings, regions, or even countries?
Yes! By following the Design for
Hybrid Agile Adoption (DH2A) approach, framework and set of templates and tools
explained in this book, you can implement successful Agile projects. After
reading this book, you will master these ten objectives:
Assess your project's
capability in adopting the DH2A Methodology
Know how to apply the tools to
determine whether your project will achieve the benefits promised by the DH2A
Methodology
Learn how the DH2A Methodology solves the traditional problem of Agile
to estimate in a fixed price model
Calculate the ratio of resources divided
between different distributed locations
Leverage DH2A Tools to adopt the
different Engineering Practices in a distributed environment
Apply
collaboration techniques to make distributed Agile successful
Use metrics to
measure success of your distributed Agile projects
Know which types of meetings
are needed to make Agile successful in a distributed environment
Assign the
roles to make distributed Agile successful and to avoid redundant roles
currently existing in today's Agile methodologies
Rollout the DH2A Methodology
across your entire organization
Distributed Agile contains three sections. Section I provides the basics of distributed
Agile and DH2A, compares collocated with distributed Agile, and shares the rewards of following a distributed Agile approach. Section II dives into the DH2A methodology, with entire chapters dedicated to the Appraisal Segment, Estimation Segment, Planning Segment, and Implementation Segment. In addition there is a chapter in Section II on the roles required to make DH2A a success. Section III focuses on the DH2A framework, with an emphasis on Project Management Office and Governance. Actual case studies are used to illustrate the many useful tools within this text.
