A starting point for a discussion on marrying Agile methods and CMMI.I’m a track chair for this conference.
If you’d like to present at the Lean Software & Systems Conference in Long Beach, California next May 4-6 then you have just one week to file your submission.
We will only extend the deadline if we do not have sufficient submissions. Last year we did not extend the deadline! So please get your submission in this week.
Lean Software & Systems is the Kanban community conference in North America. I hope to see some of you there!
Too many people don’t *get* that working on your processes without connecting your processes to cash flow (or however you prefer to refer to value-generation) is totally missing the point of working on them in the first place.
Even in the public and non-profit sectors, there is something going on involving value-generation and the pursuit of continually maximizing value-add, value to society, value to benefactors, value to beneficiaries is why you work towards performance excellence. That’s why we bother to improve processes.
Otherwise….
From Andrew Brettle’s experience at an agile conference in London.
I would temper his comments only ever so slightly to point out that there are still too many organizations who have not progressed in their sw-dev thinking in 30 years. So, while many mature organizations have moved on from standard, linear, unidirectional development, far too many have not.
On the other hand, I’ve seen equally too many “agile” presentations erecting straw men effigies of “traditional” development to burn, often characterizing them as the embodiment of all-things-not-agile-born. That, too, has to stop.
