Agile Juice is a blog dedicated to the advancement of software agility. We’re experienced agile advocates in the Telecom / Cable software industry. With the help of others throughout the software industry, we have learned a ton and in the process, have been successful at leveraging agile best practices to deliver enterprise scale BSS and OOS software of high value in within reduced timeframes. It’s now our turn to give back to the community.
For the bulk of our careers, our agile experiences have been centered on development shops of 30 folks or less. However, that has recently changed and over the past year, we have transformed a 100+ resource development shop into a synchronized agile release train that operates in concurrent and parallel 2 week iterations.
We owe a lot to Dean Leffingwell for helping us get started. Since his original visit, we have continued to advance towards agility and we continue to improve our efficiency and execution each day. While we have made tremendous strides, we are farm from truly being a highly efficient enterprise scale agility shop.
From this point forward, we will share with others our successes, our failures and our ideas so that others considering or executing towards enterprise agility will be able to benefit from our postings as well as hopefully contribute to our own learnings. We hope you enjoy our musings and that they may ultimately improve your ability to promote and leverage enterprise agility!
We’ll be posting musings on a variety of topics. These include
- Organic – True agile concepts
- Fortified – Altered or augmented concepts to enable enterprise agility
- Corked – Situations where agility is no longer a reality (even though you may believe otherwise)
