About Agile Software Development
Agile software development is a group of software development methodologies that are based on similar principles. Agile methodologies generally promote a project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy that encourages teamwork, self-organization and accountability, a set of engineering best practices that allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software, and a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and company goals.

No individual can really track and understand the impact of change in all the emerging technologies like Cloud Computing, Mobile Computing, Social Media, Agile Methodology and Big Data … You can realistically aim to have an in depth understanding of only a small subset. By in depth und...
At its annual user and partner Impact conference in Las Vegas this week, IBM announced a slew of new products, including new additions to its WebSphere applications family. There are also promises of better integration with software products from its … Continue reading →
If you are using CloudBerry Explorer or Cyberduck to access your S3 storage and to configure your CloudFront distributions you may have used the feature to let the service write access logs to a dedicated bucket. CloudBerry Explorer gives you the possibility to get a basic static chart...
In February this year the agile movement completed 11 years of existence. I am sure you are either using some form of agile methodology or examining the possibility of using them. But, are you aware of how the agile movement happened? Did it happen by chance or was it inevitable? Do yo...
So, the new Basecamp is out, released with much applause (and yes, a few groans). We reviewed it last week and found it super promising. Exciting stuff.
What’s more exciting than the sexy new project management tool, though, is how it was released. 37signals, the company behind Baseca...
A new year, a new iPhone and a new quarter. What else is new? How about a new company? Last month I was fortunate enough to join a stellar marketing team at one of the fastest growing enterprise software startups in the bay area. The company you ask? AppDynamics.
Do you really believe that adopting agile practices will help you achieve work life balance?
One of the principles behind agile manifesto hints that it is possible:
“…Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a con...
Scaling agile is not simple. The complexity increases not in proportion to the size of the team but at the square of the size of the team. That means a 20 member team project will be 4 times as complex as a 10 member team.
To ensure that complexity does not turn into chaos it is inevi...
Apart from what is explicitly stated in the manifesto, there is an unstated belief that “any” software can be developed by a small group of highly talented & motivated individual as long as they are sitting within shouting distance, have continuous access to people who can decide what ...
Adam Smith was wrong. Well … he was not wrong in his conclusion but he was partially wrong in his basic assumption that human always pursue their self-interest.
Through the work of many scientists, we have begun to see evidence across several disciplines that people are in fact more c...
In the many, many – really, many – posts I’ve penned regarding cloud computing , and in particular the notion of Intercloud, I’ve struggled to come up with a way to simply articulate the problem inherent in current migratory and, for that matter, interoperability models. Recently I fou...
This is how I was planning to start my post …
“…believe me … I do think agile works … in most … well if not in most cases then in many cases. That by implication means it is not a silver bullet for all situation. In fact, no technique, no methodology, no solution can be applied all si...
As described in a previous blog, the key benefit of Cloud computing is that it can enable an organization to achieve a Level 5 status of enterprise IT maturity, a modular architecture approach, as defined by uber BPM guru himself Michael Hammer.
Furthermore the applications that Cloud...
Surprise, surprise … Agile has never appeared in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies. So, the task of separating the hype from reality becomes simpler. The reality, Scott Ambler says, is that “…you’d have a hard time these days trying to find people who don’t want to be ag...
Minimizing the impact of code changes on multi-tenant applications requires a little devops “magic” and a broader architectural strategy
Ignoring the unavoidable “cloud outage” hysteria that accompanies any Web 2.0 application outage today, there’s been some very interesting analysis...
There are two important facts that you need to keep in mind when you use free software. No, I am not talking about issues like reliability, support, TOC etc. which are discussed in the context of open source vs. proprietary debate. I am talking about the possible complications that may...
Experts seem to agree that Enterprise Architecture is dying. However, opinions are divided on the question of why? Recent LinkedIn discussion outlines wide variety on opinion on the subject.
Zachman wrote “This is what is killing Enterprise Architecture…” and Sunil starter a discuss...
In software engineering there have always been two schools of thought. One school feels that there is a lot to learn from manufacturing. The other school thinks that they are entirely different. There have been three distinct phases in this debate: CMM Phase, Agile Phase and the Lean P...
