"AGILE HAS DOOMED ITSELF - TO BECOME YET ANOTHER FAD: XP IS ALREADY DEAD.
What is Seriously Wrong with Agile practices and interpretations - why
"What is Tom's advice, his own more value-oriented 'agile' principles and values (see below) and metrics-oriented agile practices in Evo?

The SHORT talk will be followed by a debate and questions and answers:
challenge the assumptions stated by Tom about Agile weaknesses
suggest additional weaknesses with agile and specific practices
ask any questions about specific practicesAGILE, AS CURRENTLY PRACTICED, is PROJECT-failure-prone as a culture

Main theme, it is the quantified top level and 'critical' objectives of a project that must be clear, quantified, trackable. This is a management responsibility that hardly any managers take responsibility for today - thus we get corresponding project failure.

application/pdf ‘Real QA’ draft version May 22 09 MASTER.pdf Real QA Manifesto Purpose of this document/manifesto:

Quality Assurance (QA) in software has in fact degenerated into testing alone, on a large scale. Software/IT management has ignorantly allowed this to happen, and it is time for a wakeup call. Of course many parts of the industry have been well-aware of more cost-effective ways of delivering required quality in practice, but this has in fact been largely ignored; while granting very large resources to testing alone (as opposed to smarter upstream engineering practices, based on design, prevention and upstream inspections).

Tom Gilb wrote this in response to a dialogue with my friend Mike Smith, of Testing Solutions Group, London. He seemed to believe we need to do things different in testing. This is my response.

Agile Testing: Improving Productivity

Improving Testing Productivity: Specific techniques to reduce wasted testing effort, and to improve the productivity of the testing effort. 

Part 1: Requirements: how should requirements be organised so that they are inherently more testable? 

Part 2: Quality Control: How should we organise quality control inspections of requirements and test planning so as to drive people to better practices, and to avoid wasting time on bad inputs? 

Part 3: Systematic Reduction of Defect Injection: The Defect Prevention Process: how can we organise ourselves at the test level to analyse recurrent problems and implement practical changes to avoid them? 

Part 4: Shift Focus to Qualitative Value Delivery: some wildly successful software producers have focussed on delivering a handful of key improvements to their stakeholders, frequently, measurably and testably. How does this change the testing process in practice?

See corresponding paper here.

The main idea is that we should contract for useful results, and not pay for failed projects to outside suppliers.

To do this we require 2 technologies
1. the ability to quantify qualitative results
2. the ability to deliver such results evolutionarily, early and frequently for partial payment as results cumulate

application/pdf Firm-FromWaterfallToEvo-Slides.pdf FIRM: From Waterfall to Evolutionary Development (Evo). Presentation Slides. SLIDES. How we rapidly created faster, more user-friendly, and more productive software products for a competitive multi-national market.

Evolutionary development (Evo) focuses on early delivery of high value to stakeholders, and on obtaining and utilizing feedback from stakeholders. This paper describes from a project manager’s viewpoint, the positive experiences that one organization rapidly achieved on switching from using the Waterfall method to Evo. Major benefit came from paying greater attention to the quality requirements as opposed to the previous practice of concentrating solely on the required functionality.
