商品描述

This book is a practical guide for new agile practitioners and contains everything a new project manager needs to know to get up to speed with agile practices quickly and sort out the hype and dogma of pseudo-agile practices.The author lays out the general guidelines for running an agile project with the assumption that the project team may be working in a traditional environment (using the waterfall model, or something similar).

Agile Development in the Real World conveys valuable insights to multiple audiences:

  • For new-to-agile project managers, this book provides a distinctive approach that Alan Cline has used with great success, while showing the decision points and perspectives as the agile project moves forward from one step to the next. This allows new agile project managers or agile coaches to choose between the benefits of agile and the benefits of other methods.
  • For the agile technical team member, this book contains templates and sample project artifacts to assist in learning agile techniques and to be used as exemplars for the new practitioner’s own project.
  • For the Project Management Office (PMO), the first three chapters focus on portfolio management. They explain, for the agilists’ benefit, how projects are selected and approved, and why projects have an inherent "shelf-life" that results in hard deadlines that may seem arbitrary to traditional technical teams.

What You Will Learn:

  • How and why the evolution of project management, from PM-1 (prescriptive) to PM-2 (adaptive) affects modern 21st century project management. 
  • How sociology (stakeholder management), psychology (team dynamics), and anthropology (organizational culture) affect the way software is developed today, and why it is far more effective 
  • A clear delineation of what must to be accomplished by all the roles (PM, BA, APM, Developer, and Tester), why those roles are needed, and what they must do
  • Step-by-step guide for a successful project based on studies and the author’s own experiences.
  • Specific techniques for each role on the development team, both in the pre-iteration and iteration cycles, of product development. The appendices contain templates that the team could use or modify to tailor their own agile processes specific to the team, project, and organization.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是一本實用指南,針對新的敏捷實踐者,內容包含了新的專案經理需要迅速了解敏捷實踐並解決偽敏捷實踐的炒作和教條的一切。作者提出了在傳統環境中(使用瀑布模型或類似模型)進行敏捷專案的一般指南。

《真實世界中的敏捷開發》傳達了對多個讀者群體的寶貴見解:
- 對於新接觸敏捷的專案經理,本書提供了Alan Cline非常成功使用的獨特方法,同時展示了敏捷專案在不同步驟中的決策點和觀點。這使得新的敏捷專案經理或敏捷教練可以在敏捷和其他方法的優勢之間做出選擇。
- 對於敏捷技術團隊成員,本書包含了模板和示例專案文檔,以幫助學習敏捷技術並作為新實踐者自己專案的示例。
- 對於專案管理辦公室(PMO),前三章專注於組合管理。它們解釋了對敏捷團隊有益的專案如何被選擇和批准,以及為什麼專案具有固有的“有效期限”,這對於傳統技術團隊可能看起來是任意的。

你將學到什麼:
- 了解為什麼從PM-1(規範性)到PM-2(適應性)的專案管理演進如何影響21世紀現代專案管理。
- 了解社會學(利益相關者管理)、心理學(團隊動力學)和人類學(組織文化)如何影響當今軟體開發方式,以及為什麼這樣更有效。
- 清晰界定所有角色(專案經理、業務分析師、助理專案經理、開發人員和測試人員)需要完成的任務,為什麼需要這些角色,以及他們必須做什麼。
- 根據研究和作者自己的經驗,提供成功專案的逐步指南。
- 针对开发团队中每个角色的具体技术,包括产品开发的迭代前和迭代周期。附錄中包含了團隊可以使用或修改以適應團隊、專案和組織的敏捷流程的模板。
