Agile Software Construction (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Volatility and uncertainty increasingly defines today's business environment. Agile software developers create products that lead organizations through turbulence and uncertainty by balancing flexibility and structure. Agile development defines a strategic capability to create and respond to change. Agile Software Construction reviews the leading agile development processes. It explains what each processes is and what it attempts to achieve. It also explains what they are not and dispels numerous myths surrounding agile development. The book introduces the core concepts in a concise and easily digested form, and evaluates how successful the core techniques can be, as well as what problems may be encountered. The book also shows how some of these problems have been overcome on real world projects by combining XP, Agile modelling and Feature Driven Development.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"A very comprehensive guide to the most popular current agile methods. The author fully succeeds in bringing together, in a very concise style, not only the essential approaches and methods ... but also the necessary tools for a more effective application of agile methods in the real software development process. ... By its content, the book addresses the software development theorists and practitioners alike. By its style, it is an excellent guide for any kind of student interested in achieving skills for agile software construction." (Tudor Balanescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1095 (21), 2006)

"Cyberneticians, systemists and software users and also developers will welcome a text that, says the publishers, focusses on the realities within which most software projects have to work. This appears to be useful addition to the literature and is branded as exhibiting the author's 'down-to-earth' approach when he examines how different methods can be worked together for successful results. It is an easy-to-use book that provides 'an accessible source of Agile techniques' as well as useful applications." (W. R. Howard, Kybernetes, Vol. 35 (7-8), 2006)
