Agile Development

•  Agile development is the ability to develop software quickly, in the face of rapidly changing requirements
•  Agility is achieved by adhering to well understood practices, discipline, and feedback
•  Various flavors are practiced in the industry – SCRUM, Adaptive Software Development, etc.
•  Agile approach values:
    •  Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
    •  Working software over comprehensive documentation
    •  Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
    •  Responding to change over following a plan

Why Agile ?

It is just more suitable for fast moving companies
- Builds software which is more likely to delight customers
• Embraces “changing requirements” as a positive,
• Allows more innovation - relieves the product managers of the fear of committing to an irreversible change

- Builds better quality, robust code

- Provides better visibility and delivery predictability to management

It lends itself well for working effectively with offshore/ distributed development teams
- Quick release cycles (Sprint) and scrum make the efforts put in by the offshore team more visible leading to trust
- Requires less onerous documentation around requirements, thereby main bottleneck in leveraging offshore is dramatically reduced

Agile in Practise

Core practices, widely adopted
- Small, collaborative teams, 5 to 8 team members
- Frequent and intense communication – in-person, IM Chat, email, conf-call/skype, video-conf, etc.
- Delivering working software in short iterations (Sprints) ~ 2 weeks, time-boxed, demo & customer feedback
- Initial requirements captured as “user stories”, welcome changing requirements
- Continuous integration

Other practices, with limited following
- Test driven development
- Pair programming
- Peer review

Agile with offshore team

Inherent limitations
- Customer-Vendor “contractual” relationship
- Face-to-face communication with “customer” limited/non-existent
• Geographical boundaries
• Conf-calls limited due to time-zone and connection quality issues
- Business context difference may make requirements difficult to understand, requiring more detailed docs

Inherent advantages
- Geographical dispersion forces requirements to be written, elaborated, and in that process analyzed upfront
- Forces good development processes – bug tracking, version control, daily builds, automated testing, wiki, etc.
- More focused teams, less likely to be distracted
- Cost advantage allows proper staffing to handle the Agile discipline – TDD, test automation, etc.

Agile offshore Summary

•    While Agile is a sound approach, it is often misunderstood and abused in practice
    - Agile is not an excuse for no documentation, no requirements analyse, no planning, etc.
    - US teams are often short-staffed – can’t handle TDD, etc.
•    Offshore location of dev team forces a “appropriate discipline” striking effective balance
•    Lack of “face-time” forces written, albeit informal, communications – which forces clarity and minimizes misunderstanding
•    Offshore team allows cost effective resource augmentation, to handle the Agile discipline
