Presenters: Tim Pijpops & Jan Van Reusel

Objective: Things can go wrong in an agile project. This is an experience report of agile derailments, and how to react or avoid them.

Intended audience::

Project managers, coaches and developers, actively involved in agile projects or planning to start an agile project.

Contents:

Here's what can go wrong in your agile project:

  • From no more architects to no more architecture
  • From collective code ownership to no code ownership
  • From continuous integration to continuous failures
  • From test driven development to test hindered development
  • From no design up front to no design on end
  • From self organization to disorganization
  • From only generalists to no more specialists
  • From waste elimination to business value reduction
  • From no test team to untested functionality
  • From little documentation to unmaintainable documents

In the Ventouris project, the largest Java EE project in Cegeka's agile software factory, all these things have gone wrong more or less.

But knowing the dangers is already half the solution! More in this session...
