Agile Methods and Process Discipline
The IEEE Computer Society Long Island Chapter is proud to present IEEE Distinguished Visitor Dr. Mark Paulk
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Persons who are interested in the agile methods, software process management, and/or the interaction of agile and discipline.
WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS? Learning about agile methods and disciplined processes.
Agile methods have been touted as the programming methodologies of choice for the high-speed, volatile world of Internet and Web software development. They have also been criticized as just another disguise for undisciplined hacking. The reality depends on the fidelity to the agile philosophy with which these methodologies are implemented and the appropriateness of the implementation for the application environment. Extreme Programming, Scrum, and similar agile methods are disciplined processes that incorporate good engineer and management practices, albeit with extreme implementations tailored to a specific kind of environment. Many of the challenges to agile methods arise from considering how they would fit in different environments; the degree to which agile methods can be adapted without losing their emergent properties is passionately debated. The compatibility of agile methodologies with process improvement frameworks, such as CMMI for Development, is summarized and critiqued, with the conclusion that appropriately implemented agile methods can be useful additions to an organization's set of standard processes.
