Over Time

Software development projects have undergone remarkable changes with the arrival of agile development approaches. Although intended for small, self-managing teams, these approaches are used today for large development programs. A major challenge of such programs is coordinating many teams. This case study describes the coordination of knowledge work in a large-scale agile development program with 12 teams. The findings highlight coordination modes based on feedback, the use of a number of mechanisms, and how coordination practices change over time. The findings can improve the outcomes of large knowledge-based development programs by tailoring coordination practices to needs over time.

Abstrak. Belajar dari Studi Kasus, Bagaimana Proses Pengembangan Perangkat Lunak Global Dieksekusi Pada Lingkungan Metode Agile. Tantangan terbesar dalam Software Development Global (GSD) adalah efisiensi waktu untuk mengembangkan. GSD menyediakan panduan untuk menggunakan proses bersama dengan muka seperti proses metode analisis terpadu atau metode air terjun. Meskipun, itu memberikan manfaat melalui dokumentasi yang komprehensif dan kejelasan, ia memberikan menghambat organisasi yang ingin menggunakan GSD tetapi dalam terburu-buru. Metode Agile mengklaim efisien dan pendekatan yang efektif untuk pengembangan perangkat lunak. Makalah ini laporan tentang bagaimana organisasi menggabungkan proses GSD dengan metode tangkas seperti eXtreme Programming (XP), Scrum, Agile Unified Process (UP Agile), Pengembangan Fitur Driven (FDD), dan Microsoft Solusi Kerangka Agile (MSF Agile). Makalah ini menggunakan studi kasus untuk mendapatkan pengalaman organisasi dan menjelaskan praktek yang berguna untuk organisasi yang ingin menerapkan GSD dengan metode tangkas. Kata Kunci: Siklus Hidup Pengembangan Perangkat Lunak, Agile, GSD Abstract. The biggest challenge in Global Software Development (GSD) is the efficiency of time to develop. GSD provides a guidance to use the process along with up-front analysis method like unified process or waterfall method. Although, it gives a benefit through comprehensive documentation and its clearness, it gives inhibits the organization which wants use GSD but in a rush. Agile methods claim an efficient and the effective approach to software development. This paper reports on how organizations combine the GSD process with agile methods like eXtreme Programming (XP), Scrum, Agile Unified Process (Agile UP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), and Microsoft Solution Framework Agile (MSF Agile). The paper uses case study to get organization experiences and describe useful practices for the organization that want to implement GSD with an agile method. Keywords: Software Development Lifecycle, Agile, GSD

Software Development Management

Agile method is a method of software development management that comes in response to criticism of the waterfall method. This method is widely applied in large-scale software companies, because of its superiority that emphasizes service oriented rather than waterfall approach. One of the frameworks of the agile method is Scrum. Scrum is a framework that focuses on software development management on developer team performance as a single unit that works together indivisibly, iteration of product items, product incremental, and collaboration with customers. In Scrum, product requirements are flexible because they are not exhaustive at the start of a project, but at each iteration, because customers generally difficult to express their needs explicitly. However, how does Scrum's effectiveness improve software productivity? In this paper, we propose a literature study about SCRUM implementation of some articles that considers resources, cost, time, and system complexity for minimizing software development problems. The results had proven that Scrum could improve software productivity, but with some challenges, such as how to organize team skills, cultural constraints and scenarios of different companies, including communication problems between teams that are often constrained because of the large number of teams and teams scattered in multiple locations.

AbstractInter-team coordination in large-scale software development can be challenging when relying on agile development methods that emphasize iterative and frequent delivery in autonomous teams. Previous research has introduced the concept of coordination strategies, which refer to a set of coordination mechanisms to manage dependencies. We report on a case study in a large-scale agile development program with 16 development teams. Through interviews, meeting observations, and supplemental document analyses, we explore the challenges to inter-team coordination and how dependencies are managed. We found four coordination strategies: 1) aligning autonomous teams, 2) maintaining overview in the large-scale setting, 3) managing prioritizations, and 4) managing architecture and technical dependencies. This study extends previous research on coordination strategies within teams to the inter-team level. We propose that large-scale organizations can use coordination strategies to understand how they coordinate across teams and manage their unique coordination situation.
