Meeting Info:

Topic: An Agile SDLC

Date: Tuesday, November 13 2007 -- 7pm to 9pm

Where: Indian Trails Library, 355 Schoenbeck Rd, Wheeling IL (map)

Agenda:

We're taking a break from our story development project this month. Dan Wellisch, one of the Northshore Agile Group founders, will discuss how he and the rest of his development team are adding sensible Agile practices into a traditional SDLC structure. Dan will discuss approaches he and his team are taking at a large client downtown.

The client loves what we are doing!

If you are part of an organization that may utilize a traditional SDLC or waterfall approach, then this meeting will be very informative for you.

Meeting Notes

Dan talked about his experiences with a heavy-process SDLC team that he's working with; discussion quickly turned to the Agile practices in play, and others that could be put in play to help the customer.

What's working well:

Weekly demos of developed functionality
Interest in continuous integration
Good architect

What's not working well:

Weekly demos are on dev workstations
Siloed development; individuals do not collaborate on product
Delayed integration

Suggestions for improvement:

Bring entire team to weekly demos; leverage the demos as a way to validate ALL aspects of the project (e.g. BAs, tests, data)
Leverage the weekly demos as a chance to show what is "shippable" vs. "not sashimi yet"
