This is akin to creating a race car engine and then evolving it to get more power, better fuel efficiency, and greater speed. Sadly in many cases we take these great engines, put them into an organizational tractor, and then complain that we're not winning the race. What we need to do is take our great race car engines our development teams , put them into a race car a DevOps ecosystem , have a great pit crew and driver an effective IT organization , and then provide somewhere to race an organization that can leverage IT to make money.
That's what this book is all about - Moving from optimizing team performance to optimizing the entire enterprise. Business agility - being an adaptive, lean, responsive, and learning organization - is the race that enterprises need to win today. Yet there is no quick fix, no silver bullet, to attain business agility. This is a multi-year journey requiring hard work, experimentation, and most importantly a willingness to improve. The Disciplined Agile framework lowers risks and provides a path to accelerate your journey to business agility.
The framework is unique in that it is the only one that puts all the pieces together into a cohesive enterprise roadmap for business agility transformation. This book begins with an overview of the challenges and opportunities that organizations face.
We then describe seven principles that provide the underpinnings of the Disciplined Agile framework. Then the book works through Disciplined Agile Delivery how to build a world-class engine , Disciplined DevOps the race car , Disciplined Agile IT the race car and its team , and what it means to be a Disciplined Agile Enterprise the racing business.
The book ends with a plan for starting with an Agile transformation and then evolving into a long-term continuous improvement strategy. Do you have the discipline it takes to win the race to business agility? How will you know that the Disciplined agile delivery project has been successful? Are we Assessing Disciplined agile delivery and Risk?

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process.
Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?

The first book to cover Agile Modeling, a new modeling techniquecreated specifically for XP projects eXtreme Programming XP hascreated a buzz in the software development community-much likeDesign Patterns did several years ago.
Although XP presents amethodology for faster software development, many developers findthat XP does not allow for modeling time, which is critical toensure that a project meets its proposed requirements.
They havealso found that standard modeling techniques that use the UnifiedModeling Language UML often do not work with this methodology. AM was created by the author for modeling XP projects-anelement lacking in the original XP design The XP community and its creator have embraced AM, which shouldgive this book strong market acceptance Companion Web site at www.
Integrate enterprise discipline with powerful, widely-used agile practices into a proven solution for the entire software lifecycle.
Scale agile strategies for complex development challenges, without compromising agile's advantages. Using Agile methods, you can bring far greater innovation, value, and quality to any data warehousing DW , business intelligence BI , or analytics project. Collier introduces platform-agnostic Agile solutions for integrating infrastructures consisting of diverse operational, legacy, and specialty systems that mix commercial and custom code.
Using working examples, he shows how to manage analytics development teams with widely diverse skill sets and how to support enormous and fast-growing data volumes. Collier's techniques offer optimal value whether your projects involve "back-end" data management, "front-end" business analysis, or both.
With his help, you can mitigate project risk, improve business alignment, achieve better results--and have fun along the way. Design patterns are not "reusable solutions" but instead create a rich language developers can use to communicate, collaborate, and make collective decisions about design. When you study design patterns, you are teaching yourself about what a good design is and why. Design patterns exemplify the principles and strong practices that developers can depend on to build high-quality solutions.
Developers can rely on these essential skills to guide their design considerations. Scott L. Bain has trained thousands of developers in design patterns for over 20 years, providing them with a rich background in this valuable discipline.
