\u2026 and the time for guerrilla Agile is over.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or so says Gil Borza from\u00a0Industrial Logic<\/a>\u00a0at his talk at SD Best Practices titled \u201cSecrets of High-Performance Agile Implementations\u201d.\u00a0 Gil\u2019s position is Agile has proven itself in enough places and on enough projects that we should not hide the fact we are doing Agile anymore and just do it.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t do it, then\u00a0change your organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the interesting refrains I heard regarding Agile transitions was the need for executive-sponsored Agile transitions teams with charters, budgets and authority to remove organizational impediments.\u00a0 It was clear from many of the consultants that organizations who are successful with Agile transitions are the companies who put real money behind these initiatives, run transitions as change management programs using traditional project management tools and invest real money into their staff in the form of training and reduced productivity as the organization learns new skills and behaviors.\u00a0 Real goals and milestones on what the organization should look like in 6-12-18 months are established and people are held accountable for their progress.\u00a0 Giving everyone a copy of Kent Beck\u2019s\u00a0Extreme Programming Explained\u00a0or Ken Schwaber\u2019s\u00a0Agile Project Management with Scrum<\/a>\u00a0and saying, \u201cOK, now you are trained.\u00a0 Go do it.\u201d ain\u2019t gonna cut it.<\/p>\n

As for the practical side of things, rarely does a mismash of cherry-picked Agile practices work.\u00a0 Eventually whatever you left out – pair programming, automated testing, lightweight documentation, cross-functional teams, stand-ups, etc. – will come back to haunt you later and kill your productivity.\u00a0 It is very important in the early stages of the transition process to select teams and projects that are appropriate for the Agile approach.\u00a0 When you are fixing bugs, there is just not that much to learn about how to be good at Agile.\u00a0 If you think a team trashing around with legacy issues as there first Agile project will be a success, you are deluding yourself.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Once you have got over that big hump of learning, then you can extend Agile to parts of your organization that are tightly coupled to each other and perhaps tackle those nasty legacy bugbears using a SWAT team of your best technical and business folks.\u00a0 Another thing to keep in mind, co-locate your teams\\product communities as much as possible and don\u2019t break up the communities.\u00a0 Keep people together with the product.\u00a0 A lot of time and money was spent investing in these growing and nurturing these communities (I like to think of them as corporate assets) and reallocating \u201cthe resources\u201d when a project is done just pours all that money down the drain.<\/p>\n

If you are serious about an Agile transition, recognize that every part of the organization that touches software development will have some type of change.\u00a0 An Agile transition is trying to incrementally change the habitat in which an Agile team resides and to do that you need executive sponsorship.\u00a0 Oh, if you lose your sponsor, you\u2019re done (until you can find a new one).\u00a0 Finally, expect to wait about a year before you start realizing the high productivity levels promised by Agile processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
