As I attend more public forums and presentations on Agile, I am starting to come to the conclusion that Agile could be the label for what we once called iterative development.
The outcome seems to be the same in that we want to delivery software solutions quicker and provide more business value back to our customer.
With Agile, we still seem to encounter the same challenges when deploying to a large population within organisations. For example, tools are an enabler for being able to deliver more efficiently and needs to be deployed with an appropriate cultural change management program. Agile practices, still need to integrate with a company’s existing set of governance and compliance frameworks.
To be able to position Agile in my thought process this way, makes me feel less intimidated to be able to have that transformation conversation with industry. It also confirms for me that IBM Rational has been and continues to be at the forefront of best practice for software and system delivery.
