The Economic Impact of Open Source
For many years, pundits have anticipated seismic change from open source. Beyond the high-profile changes, the effects of open source can be seen everywhere in software development today. While still an emergent phenomenon, there are cost, revenue and intangible benefits for any company that becomes an active consumer and contributor to the open source community now.

Stretched to the Limit

july-08-stretchbig If the "World is Flat" how come we still have bumps in the road of collaboration and communication?

When serendipity taps you on the shoulder I've found it best not to ignore the intrusion. I recently got back from an intense trip to India, speaking at several seminars and to a number of our leading customers. On my return I picked up "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman and this book provided me with a deeper perspective on what I had just learned, face-to-face, with the same groups of people I had just met in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Delhi. And here we are in the second edition of Agile Journal talking about Offshore Agile Development.

Agile at Scale: 7+7 Practices for Enterprise Agility
july-08-sevenbig

Part II of II - Seven Additional Practices For Enterprise Agility

In part I of this Article, we noted that the benefits of agile software methods, including faster time to market, better responsiveness to changing customer needs and higher quality are undeniable to those who have mastered these practices. However, these practices have been developed and refined in circumstances characterized by small, co-located teams with ready access to a customer. Can enterprises building applications that require hundreds of distributed team members benefit from these practices, or are they forever doomed to large, late, stage-gate and waterfall-like results?

Make SOA Governance A High Priority

Today's enterprises face growing regulatory pressures with legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, HIPAA, the Patriot Act and others. As a result, corporate and IT governance - the processes, controls and reporting infrastructure over business and IT activities, respectively - are becoming progressively more pervasive as a means for providing the compliance infrastructure necessary to satisfy this list of complex regulations. Combine this increased pressure for corporate traceability and visibility with the "next big thing" in software, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and you have a challenging governance environment to say the least. SOA's loosely-coupled nature forces IT away from monolithic application development and deployment, and as a result it greatly increases the number of moving parts that must be managed and governed.
