I submitted a proposal on this topic to the Agile2009 conference. The idea was to garner feedback as to whether or not there is a perceived need for Lean/Agile CM Manifesto (or "Declaration" of some sorts), which sort of presumes there is a legitimate place for something called Agile CM (or Lean CM). The proposal was well received by its reviewers, but alas the sheer number of submissions versus number of available slots meant that even a lot of well-received submissions (including mine) didn't make the final cut. Here is the proposal (below)! What do you think about the basic question it would ask of its audience? Is there a legitimate need for a Lean/Agile CM Manifesto? If so, what do you think it should say? Summary Description Agile development, agile project management, agile management, agile testing, all thus far have grown sizeable communities founded by many respected experts in their field. Why is this not yet the case for agile configuration management? Is there simply no need? Is lean/agile CM an oxymoron? Or is it an idea whose time has come and is long overdue? This talk will explore common complaints and misunderstandings between agilists/developers and CM, define what lean/agile CM really means, and whether or not a corresponding “manifesto” for CM is warranted (and if so, what must it include). Presentation Outline Approx ~30min of presentation followed by discussion/dialogue with the audience on whether or not the world needs a Lean/Agile CM manifesto, and what it should say. The Outline follows:
Discussion Points:
Background/Materials: Materials for the presentation will be distilled from the following sources where many of the points above have been presented or discussed in more detail. Each of the below will be distilled into no more than a single slide (with few exceptions):
