Providing 'Just Enough Design' can make agile software delivery more successful

Cynthia Tait's curator insight, May 17, 2013 11:13 PM

Agile design - a new buzzy phrase in software development - could it have value in the less fast paced world of curriculum theory and the paradoxically opposite 'real' world of 'lived and living' curriculum....worth a read chaps and ladies.

PowerStory's curator insight, May 19, 2013 2:23 PM

A great article providing practical advice on how to apply agile principles to how you define requirements and ui design.  Worth the read.

Agile & Business: What to do with managers?

First, unlike some in the agile community, I think managers can and should be useful in lean-agile-scrum.

Still, there is a lot of evidence, on many levels for two propositions:
1. Some managers can be very detrimental to a lean-agile-scrum implementation.
2. Many managers have not been well trained in how to manage. In fact, what they have been taught seems to be, to a large degree, the wrong stuff. (At least, it seems, in the US. In other countries, this may be better.)

Adapting Executive Learning: How the Stanford D.School Inspired 'Scaling Up Excellence'

Adapting Executive Learning:  How the Stanford D.School Inspired 'Scaling Up Excellence' | business analyst | Scoop.it

A new perspective on change including: Creating Infectious Action, great experiential learning to inspire change, and Stanford's d.school.


______________

Scaling Up Excellence ....never would have been written without the healthy discomfort the d.school creates for both students and teachers.

______________


Stanford Biz School Professor Huggy Rao and I spent seven years working on Scaling Up Excellence, to be published in early February. The d.school and the book are deeply intertwined – it never would have been written without the healthy discomfort the d.school creates for both students and teachers.


In 2006 we moved into our first dedicated teaching space – a double-wide trailer on the Stanford campus. A big and often unruly gang of us taught a class that is now called Bootcamp for the first time that January.


...Over 20 people were on the teaching team for 60 students).  ...I was talking a lot (often over a glass of wine) with Stanford Business School colleague Huggy Rao — who had just arrived at Stanford...about the madness of the d.school, how our goal was to create great experiential learning.

    

Huggy, a design thinker at heart, immediately asked the “and” question “suppose we did an executive program that combined traditional classroom education in the mornings AND that hands on stuff you do at the d.school in the afternoons.”  

Huggy convinced Stanford to take a risk on our crazy new program. ...We launched Customer-Focused Innovation in 2006...    30 or so executives gathered in a case style classroom at the Business School to discuss topics like leading innovation, strategy, marketing, and such.

This is a new millenium case study on how new models of learning develop in higher education, amidst hide-bound academe, inspiring executives who may bring in with them old patterns, yet are open to new modes of learning.


There is hopefulness for our own capacity for change in reading this adaptive learning story.  ~  Deb

Responding to Complexity and Uncertainty: The Agile Organisation

Responding to Complexity and Uncertainty: The Agile Organisation | business analyst | Scoop.it

Over the past two decades, management consultants and academics at business schools have increasingly stressed what they view as the rapidly increasing levels of complexity and uncertainty in the environment that all organisations have to respond to and many have labelled these conditions ‘ hyper-competition’ or ‘high velocity competition’. To deal with these conditions, consultants and academics have called for organisations to become ‘agile organisations’.

Agile & Models

Agile & Models | business analyst | Scoop.it

Agile principles to software development are essentially about project and team management, with only sparse recommendations regarding products engineering or processes design. Given this seeming oversight some have even argued that there is no room for models and milestones under the agile roof. Such misconceptions could be unfortunate, especially for project managers having to deal with organizational or architectural dependencies. But omission is not opposition as authors like Robert C. Martin or Dean Leffingwell have demonstrated respectively for products and processes.

Top 10 Project Management Trends for 2012 | business analyst | Scoop.it

I found a great TOP 10 article that hits on us Agile PM’s as well as other PM trends foreseen for 2012 on ESI International’s PMO Blog. I am seeing all of this happen at my F100 clients, some moreso than others. The “Mixing of Agile with Traditional methods” is very very big in their quest to deliver value – especially for projects outside the software development area. Enjoy !
