Scaling Software Agility, by Dean Leffingwell, is the book that all large company agilistas have been waiting for. First there was Ron Crocker's "Grizzly" method which was to be published in Large Scale Agile Development in 2004, but is still not released. Then came Jutta Eckstein's Agile in the Large, which dealt with large-projects and teams, but many critics felt it didn't quite scale up to large systems (and systems of systems) or address more enterprise-scale issues.
Dean Leffingwell was perhaps first well known as a requirements management guru and author of Managing Software Requirements. So how did Dean go from being a requirements management guru to being a large-scale agile guru? It's not too big of a leap if you think about it! Someone who knows requirements management has a lot of knowledge and credibility for large-scale systems and software engineering efforts. And applying that knowledge with an agile slant is exactly what he's been doing when working with Rally Software Development these days (the noted Agile consulting services and tool vendor). As part of that experience, he authored a few Agile Whitepapers, an essay on The Essence of Agile (now an excerpt from the book), and a few articles for The Agile Journal, most notably Agile at Scale: 7+7 Practices for Enterprise Agility. Now he has a Scaling Software Agility blog to go with the book.)
About the reviewer Brad Appleton is an enterprise SCM/ALM solution architect for a Fortune 100 technology company. Currently he helps projects and teams adopt and apply agile development & SCM practices. Brad also author's the Agile CM Environments blog, and is co-author of Software Configuration Management Patterns: Effective Teamwork, Practical Integration, the "Agile SCM" column in CMCrossroads.com's CM Journal, and is a former section editor for The C++ Report. Since 1987, Brad has extensive experience using, developing, and supporting SCM environments for teams of all shapes and sizes. He holds an M.S. in Software Engineering and a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics.
