This document summarizes an Agile Mëtteg presentation on Agile tooling. The presentation introduced agile tooling and its role in supporting agile processes. It discussed how tools can help improve quality and the development process while staying aligned with agile principles. Examples of tools that help customer collaboration, continuous delivery, testing and operations were provided. The conclusion emphasized that tools should not drive the process but rather adapt to it and help remove impediments to providing more value.

- 10. QUALITY STRIKES BACK! 11 November 2010 10Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling Quality is the best answer to FUD Deliver quality items faster than before Win trust Easier said than done?
- 11. OBJECTIVES Build knowledge Build a solution that fits the real needs Optimize delivered value Build trust relationship 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 11
- 12. WHICH QUALITY & HOW TO MEASURE IT? 11 November 2010 12Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling Agile is about adding Value Giving value to a customer for a product Contributing to a value stream Focusing on value Enforces removal of impediments Makes evaluation obvious from clients to I.T. teams to Management Gives shared quality goals for everybody
- 13. IN THE MEANTIME… 11 November 2010 13Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling Many people won’t see things this way Non Agile boundaries exist: Audit constraints Input from non-agile teams Output to non-agile teams And moreover: Agile doesn’t mean messy nor improvised development Agile doesn’t mean costless development Agile means focus on value
- 14. SO WHERE DOES QUALITY SIT? 11 November 2010 14Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling Delivered features (value) must be target constant and (very) high quality
- 15. Trust is a key asset to Agility adoption 11 November 2010 15Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling If people trust Agile teams/initiative, adoption is (of course) easier

- 19. EXTRACT FROM THE 12 PRINCIPLES Satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Deliver working software frequently with a preference to the shorter timescale. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project. Face-to-face conversation for conveying information to and within a development team. 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 19

- 21. AGILE PROCESS 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 21 Priority Needs Iterations System in progress Iterative and incremental process Adaptive planning Iterations time-boxed
- 22. TOOLS EVERYWHERE A Whiteboard/Kanban AND a good ticketing system 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 22
- 23. TOOLS EVERYWHERE Frequent delivery AND Continuous Integration to enforce and ease this delivery 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 23
- 24. TOOLS EVERYWHERE TDD AND Testing frameworks, Collaboration tools for User Acceptance Tests Good IDEs/Editors for Efficient Refactoring Good code analysis for fast error analysis 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 24
- 25. TOOLS TO IMPROVE YOUR PROCESS Tools in an Agile project/context are not focused on nor chosen for their compatibility with a predefined process Tools should adapt to your needs and assist you in improvements of your process Development process Testing process Validation process Release process 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 25
- 26. TOOLS TO AUGMENT YOUR FOCUS Tools should help you improve quality, by removing boiler-plate and helping you focus on Value Tools should evolve constantly with your process 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 26
- 27. TOOLS IN THE AGILE I.T. 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 27
- 28. MORE THAN JUST PROJECTS SDLC (Software Development Life-Cycle) expands to more than a development team How do Agile tools help with customer interaction? How does Agility integrate with (for example) ITIL? How can Agility ease interaction with operations? 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 28
- 29. CUSTOMER-FOCUSED AGILE TOOLS Transparency and collaboration tools WIKI DSLs (Ubiquitous language) Wallboards or Equivalent virtual Dashboards 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 31
- 30. ITIL AND AGILITY ITIL, as many frameworks and methods, comes with methods and tools (remember the manifesto?) ITIL should be considered a good grammar, though it doesn’t provide value by itself Value should still be the main goal, and ITIL a shared vocabulary/tool to achieve it This is true for any other (imposed) classic framework or method 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 32
- 31. OPERATIONS AND AGILITY A new trend: Dev/ops Limit between development and operations blurrier every day Cloud and virtualization are helping this frequent releases have their impact End-to-end Delivery quality attempted very early, and therefore achieved very early! Failure is allowed, though quality and tooling ensure easy fixes (reverting to former version in a click…) 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 33
- 32. CONCLUSION 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 34
- 33. TOOLS SHOULDN’T GET IN THE WAY Everything that disallows providing more value with more quality faster should be considered an impediment This is also true for tools. 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 35
- 34. Tools should help improve the process Tools should be there to help and assist the process Tools should adapt to process improvements or be abandoned Tools should not drive the process, people and value (stream) should 11 November 2010 Agile Mëtteg - Agile Tooling 36
