Abstract

Plan driven cultures are characterized by a strong belief in the plannability and predictability of software development projects. The SEI-CMM, software process improvement initiatives, and software metrics programs are some of the hallmarks of this school of thought. The more recent trend towards agile development places the emphasis on constantly adapting to a project's changing goals rather than on detailed upfront planning. The majority of reports from pracitioners of agile development are positive and confirm the advantages of this approach. However, moving from a plan driven culture to agile development is not easy. Making the transition requires changes to many established practices and may even touch core values held by stakeholders. Areas affected are requirements and change management, user involvement, willingness to take on responsibility, contract management, and the ability to live with many uncertainties. This talk looks at what it takes to make the transition and presents lessons learned from organizations and projects which have successfully completed the switch to agile development.

从计划驱动的文化转向敏捷开发

计划驱动文化的特点是对软件开发项目的可计划性和可预测性有强烈的信念。SEI-CMM、软件过程改进计划和软件度量程序是该思想流派的一些标志。敏捷开发的最新趋势强调不断适应项目不断变化的目标，而不是详细的前期计划。来自敏捷开发实践者的大多数报告都是积极的，并确认了这种方法的优点。然而，从计划驱动的文化转变为敏捷开发并不容易。进行转换需要对许多已建立的实践进行更改，甚至可能触及涉众持有的核心价值。受影响的领域包括需求和变更管理、用户参与、承担责任的意愿、合同管理，以及应对许多不确定因素的能力。本次演讲将探讨如何完成敏捷开发的转型，并介绍从成功完成敏捷开发转型的组织和项目中获得的经验教训。
