Stealth Methodology Adoption
Facing resistance when
implementing new development process changes within an organization?
Sometimes
big changes need to be packaged to make them appear to be minor
adjustments to
the current process. Agile software development methods can coexist
within SW-CMM/CMMI environments, but sometimes
they need to be described in a way
that makes them seem less threatening to the "process police" -- this
presentation will show you how.
Participants will learn:
- Why
people resist the introduction of new approaches
- The
history of software development lifecycles and how these new approaches
were accepted
- 9
tips on introducing new development methods to your team and to your
organization
- Examples
of introducing software development processes such as Extreme
Programming (XP), Scrum, and other agile methods.
- Pitfalls
to avoid when introducing a new method
The
Stealth Methodology Adoption approach, however, is applicable to more
than just
software development projects -- you can use these techniques for most
development process changes. Book
this
session now and learn the techniques that may just make your next
process
change a success.
