Exposing and Overcoming the Dirty Secrets of Agile Development

by Ken Collier, Luke Hohmann

Agile software practices have emerged as one of the most effective ways to create a wide range of software solutions. From those solutions created by IT departments for internal, mission-critical software systems to software product lines developed by product teams for external customers (consumers or enterprises), organizations are increasingly adopting agile approaches. Unfortunately, many of these organizations are finding that the path to agile isn't necessarily as easy as it sounds and that there are numerous opportunities for failure along the way. In this Executive Report, we draw upon our collective experience in leading agile projects to divulge some dirty little secrets and give you concrete advice on how to avoid the pitfalls of agile projects. This report has special relevance for those seeking to engage agile approaches on what some consider nonstandard applications of agile, especially in the business intelligence (BI) community.
