Process Control Model

The defined process control model

The defined process control model requires that every piece
of work be completely understood. Given a well-defined set of
inputs, the same outputs are generated every time. A defined
process can be started and allowed to run until completion,
with the same results every time.

The empirical process control model

Provides and exercises control through frequent inspection
and adaptation for processes that are imperfectly defined and
generate unpredictable and unrepeatable outputs

Manifesto for Agile Software Development

We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.

Myths

“The Agile methodology movement is not anti-methodology; in fact,

many of us want to restore credibility to the word. We also want to
restore a balance: We embrace modeling, but not merely to file
some diagram in a dusty corporate repository. We embrace
documentation, but not to waste reams of paper in never-
maintained and rarely-used tomes. We plan, but recognize the limits
of planning in a turbulent environment.”

Martin Fowler and Jim Highsmith

Agile Framework

Extreme Programming SCRUM: Crystal: Dynamic Systems

(XP):
• Based on values of
simplicity, communication,
feedback, courage, and
respect
• Start with simple solution,
add complexity through
refactoring
Agile Techniques: The above methods involve a number of different techniques including
• Small teams of 6-8 people
• “Backlog” defined
requirements that will be
addressed in each Sprint
• Daily 15 min.Scrum
meeting to discuss work for
the day
•Unified Process:
• Simplified version of
Rational Unified Process –
reduced number of
disciplines
• Frequent delivery
• Reflective improvement
Adaptive:
• Repeating Speculate,
Collaborate, Learn cycles
• Provides for continuous
learning and adaptation
to changing project state
Development Method
(DSDM):
•3 primary phases: Pre-
Project, Project Life-Cycle ,
Post-Project
Feature Driven Dev.:
• Develop feature list
• Plan, Design, Build by
Feature

Test-driven development Continuous integration Static Analysis

Planning game Design improvement Coding standard
Pair Programming Small releases Sustainable pace
Refactoring Simple design Whole team

What is Scrum ?

Scrum is an agile software

development framework.
o Empirical management and control process
o Inspect and adapt feedback loops
o Used to manage complex projects since 1990
o Delivers business functionality in 30 (20) days
o Scalable to distributed, large and long projects
o Extreme simple but very hard

No changes during a sprint

Change

 Plan sprint durations around how long you can commit to keeping
change out of the sprint

User Stories

A User Story takes the form of:

As a <Role>, I want to <Goal> so I can <Business
value>.

Examples:
As a DBA at Wal*Mart, I want to be able to reduce
storage consumption so that I manage fewer storage
devices.

As an administrator, I want to prove that only

approved clients are allowed to use specific services
so that I can control data security/costs/etc.

Agile

 In summary:
 Build Software that really works (your only progress metric is working
–tested- software).
 Agile produces information that can be used for better management.
 Scope is variable, not quality;
 Analysis, test, design and implementation occurs in tiny pieces;
 Agile frameworks is not the silver bullet. I will not solve your
problems, they will just make them visible to you.
 Product remains in steady/stable status during the whole lifecycle;
 Focused on business success;

 Embrace changes;
