This increases predictability and reduces risk. 5 Start with plan Waterfall - Predictive End with all done, on the date and for the cost planned.

SCRUM FRAMEWORK CODECENTRIC AG

2002 - in response to the Agile Manifesto, Barry Boehm was quoted as saying, Agile is an excellent approach is you have a small team of highly skilled developers managing themselves in a co-located workplace with great engineering tools and practices. They will produce great products. 12 It turns out that you can use Agile with a large team of terrible developers who are dispersed all over the globe, who are using lousy tools and practices. They will produce crap. The point isn t whether they produce great stuff or crap, the point is that the problem is transparent. Then the question is: what are you going to do about it?

There's a mess I've heard about with quite a few projects recently. It works out like this: 8 They want to use an agile process, and pick Scrum They adopt the Scrum practices, and maybe even the principles After a while progress is slow because the code base is a mess What's happened is that they haven't paid enough attention to the internal quality of their software. If you make that mistake you'll soon find your productivity dragged down because it's much harder to add new features than you'd like. You've taken on a crippling TechnicalDebt and your scrum has gone weak at the knees. (And if you've been in a real scrum, you'll know that's a Bad Thing.) I've mentioned Scrum because when we see this problem, Scrum seems to be particularly common as the nominative process the team is following. For many people, this situation is exacerbated by Scrum because Scrum is process that's centered on project management techniques and deliberately omits any technical practices, in contrast to (for example) Extreme Programming. I'm sure that the many Flaccid Scrum projects being run will harm Scrum's reputation, and probably the broader agile reputation as well. -- MARTIN FOWLER, JANUARY 2009

9 BY EARLY 2009, MORE ORGANIZATIONS WERE USING AGILE PROCESSES THAN WATERFALL PROCESSES HOWEVER, LESS THAN 50% OF THOSE USING SCRUM WERE DEVELOPING IN INCREMENTAL ITERATIONS, WHICH ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF SCRUM. ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES OF USING SCRUM HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE STEEP LEARNING CURVE FOR THE DEVELOPERS ON THE SCRUM TEAM. -- JEFF SUTHERLAND, KEN SCHWABER, MÄRCH 2010

The Scrum community needs to redouble its efforts to ensure that people understand the importance of strong technical practices. Certainly any kind of project review should include examining what kinds of technical practices are present. If you're involved or connected to such a project, make a fuss if the technical side is being neglected. 14 Martin Fowler, 1/29/09
