The Disciplined Agile Team
Friday - Mar 20 10:45 AM PDT - UNIVERSITY
Some come to Agile assuming it involves less discipline than their traditional methods, but this is a misperception. Today, the need for discipline in software development is greater than it ever was. Agile answers that need, arriving at discipline through the Team. Agile Teams must collaborate to develop strong discipline in both planning and execution.
We'll discuss how teams can obtain Agile discipline to achieve one of our core principles of delivering “working software” frequently. We'll explore some of the key Agile planning and engineering practices like continuous planning, Test-Driven Development, Continuous Integration and Acceptance testing. We'll look at the discipline involved in these practices, their inter-relationship, and the benefits they realize in delivering value to the customer.
