Agile Software In Process
Agile Software In Process
A software book with a story
About the Book
In this book, I show the agile patterns that I have observed via the narrative of Mike, a programmer who has struggled to deliver working software. After a major issue with a new deployment—that costs his company lots of money—leadership decides to rehire an employee named Tim. Tim is tasked with delivering new features while simultaneously installing agile. Along the way, both Mike and Tim are met with skeptics, difficult conversations, challenging software problems, and their own flaws, as they attempt to live out the values that are core to Extreme Programming.
