Introduction to Agile Method MovementEric Poinsignon , IT/PS AbstractA very short introduction to Agile methods, including RUP (available at CERN). Introduction:A development with performance and quality needs an iterative and incremental project management. The Unified Method Language (UML) shows the strong link between modelisation form and prototype development. This way of project management and software process is based on the Agile method movement.The four main principles of the Agile methods:
List of the Agile methods:Around 10 different methods are listed here. Hopefully, there are relatively similar. Most of the values and techniques are shared.
On the way to Agile methods:The optimal method depends on the project. It would be a subset of those methods plus the right specific one in function of the context. Such an innovation would have the effect to touch the IT profession. So it's often the full organisation that must change. To reach this, the organisation must evolve to a certain dynamism.At CERN, one can find a full knowledge base on software process named Rational Unify Process (RUP). I suggest everybody involved in software development (development, project management, quality insurance, software architect, testing, configuration management or software design) have a look at this web knowledge base RUP (http://sdt.cern.ch/RUP/). One will also find links to interesting sites in the associated documentation page (http://sdt.cern.ch/RUP/Doc.html). Contact at CERN:RUP is supported by the Software development Tools Service (SDT).Web page: http://sdt.cern.ch/RUP/ Email: sdt.support@cern.ch
