Title: Methodology a la carte
Proposer: giovanni_asproni
Type: Tutorial/Workshop
Duration: 90 minutes
Description:
In the software world we have been looking for “The Methodology” to solve our software development sorrows for quite a while. We started with Waterfall, then Spiral, Evo, RUP and, more recently with XP, Scrum and Kanban (there are many others, but, their impact, so far, has been more limited).
In this session I'll argue about the fact, that an out-of-the-box methodology can be no more than a starting point, and that team members need to tailor it to the specific needs of their project by keeping into account their surrounding context–e.g., company culture, constraints, team preferences, etc. Furthermore, I'll propose an approach to build a custom methodology that, instead of starting from one or more out-of-the-box ones, starts from the team goals and constraints and what we know are good practices that can be used to deliver a better product in a more satisfactory way. A methodology a la carte.
Roger: Yes, but … there are lots of Agile/methodology based proposals – I think we need to look at them as a group and decide which ones balance out best together.
