Managing Agile Activities
/in agileAgile enables development teams to bring major benefits to software customers. Functionality is delivered faster and closer to business needs than was possible with old ‘waterfall’ processes. COSMIC, IFPUG and Nesma have collaborated to produce a report that shows how their methods can be used to manage Agile-at-Scale activities. This can be achieved whilst leaving existing Agile processes unchanged at the team level. Your free copy of the report is available here.
