Collaboration Circa 2007
More than any other types of software development teams, success on Agile teams requires collaboration among a broad community. Note that there are really two essential points here: that the Agile community is diverse and that its collaboration is effective. Just as we cite the "better, faster, cheaper" mantra to drive development priorities, so have we talked for years about the benefits of collaboration. Of course, team members must work together to achieve common goals. The greater the collaboration, the more likely that requirements will be met and issues will be resolved in a timely manner. So what is the "so what" with Agile collaboration? With a diverse, distributed community and corporate governance mandates, an Agile team must consider collaboration a key - if not the key - requirement. In this article, we'll explore the 2007 perspective and why an Agile team must think about collaboration differently.
