Agile Patterns: The Technical Cluster
Posted by Amr Elssamadisy on Mar 23, 2007
As more and more people move towards adoption of Agile practices, they are looking for guidance and advice on how to adopt Agile successfully. Unfortunately many of the questions they have such as: “Where do I start?”, “What specific practices should I adopt?”, “How can I adopt incrementally?” and “Where can I expect pitfalls?” are not adequately addressed.
This book answers these questions by guiding the reader in crafting their own adoption strategy focused on their business values and environment. This strategy is then directly tied to patterns of agile practice adoption that describe how many teams have successfully (and unsuccessfully) adopted practices like test-first development, simple design, and others.
