Agile Project Management

Agile project management means implementing project management in agile ways. so the next question is what are the differences between agile and conventional project management. On this article, we will discuss five keys different in Agile Project management - Agile project management means iterative and incremental. Agile project management (APM) works based on the timebox, iterative and incremental. While the conventional process works in sequential - Agile project management follows the agile manifesto. it means more communication, more focus on people, and more adapt with changes.  - Agile project management adapt to changes, there is no fix scope. The scope always change as long as the people, product, and funding is supported - Agile project management teams work more dynamic job description rather than role based model. team team like scrum master, product owner, and development team with collective ownership  - Agile project management provides new ways of documentation and tools. The term like user story, sprints events, and provides new way to estimate and to communicate 

Mob, Pair, or Solo Programming

Programming is a challenging task. You need to focus, to solve a problem, and to create a solution for problem. There are so many ways to do programming. In Agile environment, programming can be done through three ways. Solo programming, Pair Programming, and Mob Programming. This article will discuss when you choose one compare to the others. Solo (all in one) This is just like a song from Katty Perry featuring Clean Bandit. Solo! Solo means you do by yourself. You did plan, do, codes, and test activities. The solo great when Project is simple and less complexity. Less external dependencies and stakeholders. Limited user experience Benefits of solo programming are: Faster in development Codes are understandable. Easy to manage. Challenge in solo programming is: Limited design principles applied during the development process. Exhausted and bored Undocumented codes You can learn more here The Personal Software Process (PSP) (cmu.edu) medianet_width = "600"; medianet_height = "250"; medianet_crid = "858385152"; medianet_versionId = "3111299"; Pair (~2 developers in same role) Pair is a couple way to do programming activity. Pair programming is great when. Pair is available with different skills and knowledge. Pair is great when face-to-face communication. Pair is great when we have same role in a team. Benefits of pair programming are: Well-design product two head is better than one. Transfer knowledge happens. Shared ownership of the codes. The pair knows the codes. Challenge in pair programming is: Slow down the productivity. Hard to implement in distributed environments (e.g., different time zones) Suitability of pair person. You can learn more about pair programming here On Pair Programming (martinfowler.com) Mob (> 2 members in different role) Mob is more than two peoples work together. Mob is great when. Having members with different skillset Having a good workspace to work together. Having a jell team with good communication model. Benefits of mob programming Project understandability is the highest among the team members. Validation and verification happen between members. Near real time feedback model to shape the well-designed project Challenge in mob programming Specific infrastructure is needed. The communication between members should be fluid between team members. Limited productivity when the others work while the others only see the process. You can learn mob programming here Mob Programming Basics – Mob Programming So which one you prefer as your programming style? Put a comment please.     medianet_width = "600"; medianet_height = "250"; medianet_crid = "858385152"; medianet_versionId = "3111299";

The Simplicity in User Manual

User manual is still needed. However, it should as simple as possible. The real question is, what the content of user manual that can be as simple as possible and provide simplicity guide for the user. This article will guide it for you. If you are Scrum or XP user, this agile user manual is for you. This is the improvement of my previous post Creating Agile User Manual (ridilabs.net) What you Put in Your Manual Technically not everything on the DevOps work item. You can put the essential information such as Product vision, mission, and success criteria Product version and history Product actor. Who will use the product? Product feature. List of features Product user story Product guide how to use the user story.
