Transitioning to Agile and Complexity at Cisco VTG
by Kathleen Rilliet and Hubert Smits
This Executive Report focuses on the authors' experience implementing agile software development practices in the large and complex environment of Cisco Voice Technology Group (VTG) over a nine-month period in 2010. VTG is large both in number of people (more than 2,500) and in number of products (approximately 40-50). It is complex in terms of people distribution (globally dispersed) and product dependencies (40-plus products have deep interaction with each other). Agile practices and processes were implemented in this environment, effectively starting an organizational change.

Technical Debt Assesment and Valuation
with Israel Gat, Practice Director
