Break the Old, Waterfall Habits that Hinder Agile Success:

Drive Rapid Value and Continuous Improvement

 

When agile teams don’t get immediate results, it’s tempting for them to fall back into old habits that make success even less likely. In Being Agile, Leslie Ekas and Scott Will present eleven powerful techniques for rapidly gaining substantial value from agile, making agile methods stick, and launching a “virtuous circle” of continuous improvement.

 

Drawing on their experience helping more than 100 teams transition to agile, the authors review its key principles, identify corresponding practices, and offer breakthrough approaches for implementing them. Using their techniques, you can break typical waterfall patterns and go beyond merely “doing agile” to actually thinking and being agile.

 

Ekas and Will help you clear away silos, improve stakeholder interaction, eliminate waste and waterfall-style inefficiencies, and lead the agile transition far more successfully. Each of their eleven principles can stand on its own: when you combine them, they become even more valuable.

 

Coverage includes

  • Building “whole teams” that cut across silos and work together throughout a product’s lifecycle
  • Engaging product stakeholders earlier and far more effectively
  • Overcoming inefficient “waterations” and “big batch” waterfall thinking
  • Getting past the curse of multi-tasking
  • Eliminating dangerous technical and project debt
  • Repeatedly deploying “release-ready” software in real user environments
  • Delivering what customers really need, not what you think they needn Fixing the root causes of problems so they don’t recur
  • Learning from experience: mastering continuous improvement
  • Assessing whether you’re just “doing agile” or actually “being agile”

Being Agile will be indispensable for all software professionals now adopting agile; for coaches, managers, engineers, and team members who want to get more value from it and for students discovering it for the first time.

打破阻礙敏捷成功的舊瀑布習慣:迅速創造價值和持續改進

當敏捷團隊無法立即獲得成果時,他們很容易回到使成功更加困難的舊習慣。在《Being Agile》一書中,Leslie Ekas和Scott Will提出了11種快速獲得敏捷價值、使敏捷方法持續發揮作用並啟動持續改進的強大技巧。

根據他們幫助100多個團隊轉型為敏捷的經驗,作者回顧了敏捷的關鍵原則,確定了相應的實踐方法,並提供了實施這些方法的突破性方法。使用他們的技巧,您可以打破典型的瀑布模式,不僅僅“做敏捷”,而是真正思考和成為敏捷。

Ekas和Will幫助您消除隔閡,改善利益相關者的互動,消除浪費和瀑布式的低效率,並更成功地引領敏捷轉型。他們的11個原則中的每一個都可以獨立存在:當您將它們結合在一起時,它們變得更有價值。

內容包括:
- 建立跨越隔閡並在產品生命周期中共同工作的“整體團隊”
- 更早且更有效地吸引產品利益相關者
- 克服低效的“水瀑思維”和“大批量”瀑布思維
- 克服多任務的困境
- 消除危險的技術和項目債務
- 在真實用戶環境中重複部署“可發布”的軟件
- 提供客戶真正需要的,而不是您認為他們需要的
- 解決問題的根本原因,以防止其再次發生
- 從經驗中學習:掌握持續改進
- 評估您是否僅僅“做敏捷”還是真正“成為敏捷”

《Being Agile》對於現在正在採用敏捷的所有軟件專業人員都是必不可少的;對於想要從中獲得更多價值的教練、經理、工程師和團隊成員;以及首次接觸敏捷的學生也是如此。
