A First Taste of Agile Development

A senior project manager's first experience with Agile processes.

"There are several agile processes that are very well documented, of which the best known is Kent Beck's eXtreme Programming. Others include Crystal, Scrum, and Feature Driven Development. They all share the same basic principles and have their own strengths and weaknesses. It is not my intention to compare and contrast or to criticize or praise. That has been done ad infinitum and is easily researched on the web. What I would like to do is to contribute my first agile experience to the current body of knowledge."

Scott Ambler's SD Forum presentation, 2003

"In this presentation Scott Ambler describes and contrasts the leading agile methodologies, including Crystal Light, eXtreme Programming, Scrum, Dynamic System Development Method, Feature Driven Development, and Agile Modeling. He also discusses the possibility of tailoring an agile instantiation of the Rational Unified Process (RUP)."

Scrum contractual provisions


"We also enter into 4 contractual modifications with the customer, which gives them the option, should they want to do so, to collaborate with the development teams during the project. These 4 contractual provisions are:

  1. For any part of the requirements that the team hasn't started working on yet, the customer is free to change them with anything of equal value.
  2. For any part of the requirements that the team hasn't started working on yet, the customer is free to reprioritise them
  3. For any part of the work that has been delivered as increments already, the customer is free to ask the teams to implement them in addition to any call for implementations and they will be charged time and material to do so.
