In the report, Woody Zuill discussed the experiences of his software development team at Hunter Industries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team at Hunter planted the initial seeds for Mob Programming back in 2011 while practicing TDD and Coding Dojos to get up to speed on a project which had been placed on hold for several months. \u201cA gradual evolution of practices as well as a daily inspect and adapt cycle [resulted] in the approach that is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agilealliance.org\/glossary\/mob-programming\/#q=~(filters~(postType~(~'page~'post~'aa_book~'aa_event_session~'aa_experience_report~'aa_glossary~'aa_research_paper~'aa_video)~tags~(~'mob*20programming))~searchTerm~'~sort~false~sortDirection~'asc~page~1)\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">now known as Mob Programming,\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> according to the Alliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An extension of pair programming, in which two developers work together while sharing the same screen, Mob Programming requires all team members to collaborate continuously on a single computer. Yet although all of the production code and most of the team\u2019s other work gets done on the \u201cmain\u201d computer, developers can use their own laptops for <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/mobprogramming.org\/mob-programming-time-lapse-video-a-day-of-mob-programming\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201csearching, trying things, reading documents,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or whatever an individual would like,\u201d Zuill wrote on the MobProgramming.org website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple monitors or projectors can be used, too, making it easier to open and share several applications at the same time. The customer is also part of the team, sometimes sitting in the same room as other team members and sometimes chiming in with feedback via remote screen sharing, instant messaging (IM), or phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Descaling\u2019 the organization <\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ironically, descaling is a common practice for scaling up Agile development. \u201cScaling by descaling breaks down things into smaller bits: small autonomous teams, smaller product backlogs, etc. In practice it works better than complex processes,\u201d maintained Patric Palm, CEO of Favro, in an interview with SD Times. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAgile teams optimize flow by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/how-de-scale-your-organization-peter-merel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chopping everything into tiny pieces,\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concurred Peter Merel, founder of the XSCALE Alliance, an Agile coaching organization. \u201cTiny plans, tiny meetings, tiny requirements, tests, sign-offs and retrospectives. Making these things tiny enables teams to review and refactor them in tiny ceremonies, boosting productivity through continuous negative feedback.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Agile experts now advocate \u201cdescaling\u201d the entire organization, as well. \u201cScaling is an anti-pattern. Big meetings, long loops, slow cadence, tight coupling, and deep hierarchies represent bottlenecks no matter how Agile an individual team may be. Descaling refactors your organization into self-managing streams of self-organizing teams working together like pods of dolphins,\u201d contended Merel, writing on LinkedIn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia-based Fairfax Media Group has transformed its Domain Group business into an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoq.com\/presentations\/descale-organization\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile organization through descaling,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> illustrated Stuart Bargon, who served as Agile product lead at Domain.com.au. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDescaling through organizational change\u201d is actually the primary purpose of one Agile methodology, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/less.works\/blog\/2015\/05\/08\/less-scaling-descaling-organizations-with-less.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dubbed Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS). <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cDescaling the number of roles, organizational structures, dependencies, architectural complexity, management positions, sites, and number of people. LeSS is not about scaling one team into multiple teams. LeSS is about scaling up Scrum itself in order to achieve organizational descaling,\u201d explained Viktor Grgic, a software developer, Agile coach, and certified LeSS trainer. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJust like Scrum, LeSS removes your organizational band-aids that apparently solved the problems, but actually masked them and didn\u2019t address the root causes,\u201d Grgic wrote, in a blog post on the LeSS site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Crystal methodologies<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alistair Cockburn was one of the 17 software development luminaries who got together in Snow Bird, Utah in 2001 to forge the now famous Agile Manifesto. While working at IBM, Cockburn had developed Crystal, a family of methodologies for object-oriented programming. The most structured of these approaches, Crystal Diamond, is targeted at large projects, whereas Crystal Clear is a much more fluid methodology for teams of one to six developers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crystal methodologies revolve around seven properties: frequent delivery; reflective improvement; osmotic communications; personal safety; focus; easy access to expert users; and a technical environment with automated tests, configuration management, and frequent integration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to David Lowe of the Scrum &amp; Kanban website, it\u2019s quite apparent that Crystal had a profound impact on the resulting Manifesto. However, not all of Crystal\u2019s terminology made it into the groundbreaking document, including reflective improvement. In reflective improvement, team members get together regularly to talk about how to improve a project \u2013 certainly not a revolutionary notion today, but Crystal first saw the light of day in the 1990s. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crystal is still highly regarded by many Agile experts. Yet as Lowe suggests, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/scrumandkanban.co.uk\/what-is-crystal-clear\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">its adoption might have been limited<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by the fact that the methodologies are tailored to Agile developers so advanced that they\u2019re already writing their own rules. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a catch-22 designed to avoid followers. Evidently I\u2019m no good at business models,\u201d quipped Cockburn, who now teaches about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tabar.biz\/certified-scrum-master-heart-of-agile\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scrum as well as non-Scrum approaches.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Bell Curve-based Agile Delivery Model<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bell Curve-based Agile Delivery Model stepped into the limelight earlier this summer in a post by Santosh Balan, technical projects manager at Fujitsu, published in Information Week. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.informationweek.com\/devops\/consider-a-bell-curve-based-agile-delivery-model\/a\/d-id\/1332210?_mc=rss_x_iwr_edt_aud_iw_x_x-rss-simple\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As proposed by Balan,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bell Curve-based Delivery enables teams to ease into projects gradually by considering technical complexity along with business value when organizing and tackling items in the product backlog. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By focusing first on tasks that are less complex, but which also deliver business value, an Agile team can gain early wins that build team morale and stakeholders\u2019 confidence, even while the team is still working out the myriad intricacies of onboarding new members and embarking on the project. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most difficult and critical high-value tasks in the project can be deferred until the team has refined its practices well enough to reach peak performance. Finally, as teams begin to dissolve at the end of the project, members can wrap up by completing non-critical features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response, Palm characterized the Bell Curve-based model as a great \u201cway of thinking about the Agile delivery model with group maturity in mind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bell Curve-based Delivery could be overlaid on to various Agile methodologies, such as Scrum and Kanban, Palm theorized. It might also make sense to go after tasks such as technical risk evaluations at the outset, \u201cso that you don\u2019t save the biggest risks until later on,\u201d he told SD Times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The 2018 Agile conference is going on this week in San Diego.
