The Growing Influence Of Open Source Projects
Two years ago, I began writing about the impact of open source development tools, components, processes and organizational models on corporate IT shops. I worked with a range of development managers that shared a very similar point of view: instead of dismissing the so-called renegade open source projects, the managers emulated these projects' activities and hoped to mimic their success. This trend is only growing and I am intrigued by the ways in which IT shops are looking to the open source community for leadership.


Impact of Open Source on Application Development
os_penguinHow is it that the geeky, non-traditional world of open source software is having such a tremendous impact on traditional IT organizations? Development teams, and Agile projects in particular, are increasingly looking to the open source community for tools, application components, best practices and even organizational models for software projects. Of all of the influences in the industry, the advent of open source software is by far the most significant that we've seen in many years.



FEATURED BOOK: Collaboration Explained: Facilitation Skills for Software Project Leaders

july-08-collaborationbigNumerous Agile methods and principles emphasize the value of collaboration and self-organization. Most books on the subject of Agile development discuss principles and practices related to planning and development practices.

Achieving Agility in Globally Distributed Software Development
july-08-agilitybigIn today's business climate there exists an ever-increasing demand to achieve more from less. More return from less investment, faster time to market from shrinking resources, higher quality from collapsing timelines. The impact of these pressures on the software development industry has meant that organizations have had to look for new avenues such as offshore development to reduce costs yet still satisfy these increasing demands. Simply incorporating an offshore development strategy to realize lower costs is not a solution. Leveraging the lower cost and resource scalability that an offshore development strategy provides must also include the facilities to enable that capability to produce better results faster.

Turning the Fragile into the Agile

Tool integrations are notoriously fragile; how can we fix this problem once and for all?

The first sign of trouble is the unusually long time it takes for your IDE to start one morning. Maybe you can't access the trouble tickets any more or the team members cannot build their applications or run the automated test suite.
