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.

Open Source Tools for the Agile Developer
A defining characteristic of agile development is to keep moving forward, recognizing working code as the primary measure of valued software. Undoubtedly, there is no way to judge a software system until you have a system to judge. Yet, experienced developers recognize that requirements frequently change and traditional methods have achieved very little success in stabilizing requirements early in the lifecycle. Instinctively, we may feel change impedes progress, but agile developers embrace an attitude where change is viewed as an opportunity to improve the system. A variety of open source software tools can enable important agile practices, allowing you to keep moving forward so long as you are willing to embrace change.

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.

Agile Processes: Making Metrics Simple
IT organizations, and in particular application development departments, are increasingly under pressure to provide performance and compliance metrics to justify annual spend. Unfortunately, many metrics campaigns collapse under their own weight: there's no shortage of things to measure, the scope is greater than first appears, measurement needs to happen frequently, and collection is a distraction to traditional software delivery operations. By comparison, Agile processes are uniquely well suited to metrics, providing measurements transparently and consistently as an extension of day-to-day operations. Framed in a scorecard, information collected during an Agile project provides a comprehensive analysis of delivery excellence at the project, program and department levels.
