SDLC
3.0: Beyond a Tacit Understanding of Agile
 The world of software
development methodology has
become a bit of a cottage
industry. Philosophical divisions and dogma laced with
branding and driven
by profit motive are commonplace.
Re-invention
replaces integration due to a lack of
collaboration. A
pragmatic perspective however would be
to leverage
all past experience in context when
approaching
modern software engineering challenges. For
example, issues faced by the Agile community related to agility
at scale and technical
debt have already been
addressed before by other communities.
SDLC 3.0
represents the rationalization of modern software
engineering methods
into a Complex Adaptive System
of practices.
It leverages Control Systems Engineering theory to
explain Agile beyond a tacit and anecdotal basis such
that the pace of modern practice adoption can
accelerate. And because "more for less" is now
as important as "being agile", it articulates
blueprints of the Lean IT Enterprise.
Who should read
this book:·
- If you are an Agilist and tired
of having to pause when asked the question "What
is Agile".·
- If you are a Traditionalist and
you would like to learn why Agile is a better
approach - if someone would just explain "why
it works" in a
credible way.·
- If you are an Executive and you
are faced with a fiduciary duty to influence IT
investment outcomes. A blueprint of a Lean
IT Enterprise is
valuable to you. ·
- If you are a Researcher and you
are tired
of fads and brands, and
want to ground Agile in applied science and
rigorous mathematics. ·
- If you are a Methodologist and
you believe that the
cottage industry must stop,
and that we must get past fragmentation and tacit
or anecdotal evidence.·
- If you are a Practitioner and you
can't afford to pontificate on which
"pure" wholesale method to leverage when
faced with the "realities
on the ground".
·
- If you are an independent
thinker, a centrist.
·
- If you are a pragmatist.
