As more and more software engineering organizations adopt agile
development, the need for continuous integration of a build can be a
daunting and cumbersome task.
Like many firms Intuit has seen a dramatic increase in its software
production requirements, from releasing two products in an annual
release to delivering multiple products in multiple releases per
year. In this webinar Jon Burt, Manager of SCM at Intuit, discusses
why and how his team implemented a continuous integration strategy for
the QuickBooks line.

Do you face any of these challenges in your distributed development project?
• Disconnection on project requirements or estimation
• Decreased visibility into project status
• Erosion of trust among individuals in the project
If you do, you are not alone. Let’s face it; global collaboration is hard. Because software development is, at its core, based on communication. Every aspect of a project is fundamentally changed the moment that team members lose the ability to communicate face to face. As a result, it’s far too easy for a distributed software project to be unsuccessful.
And yet, the allure of distributed projects is very powerful: cost savings, 24/7 availability of development, access to talent and more.
No wonder then, that Project Managers are expected to deliver results with Global teams.

Do you need:
-
Faster builds?
-
Trouble-free merges?
-
Reliable builds for QA?
You’re the build manager. You actually build the
product
that ships. Yet get no respect. You’re on your own to build your
toolset.
You’re expected to provide a Continuous
Integration
environment – even though you have developers all over the world and a
build
that takes 14 hours to run. You’re expected to be agile.

Organizations
are moving rapidly to adopt Agile development processes but many are
struggling. Pilots with small or
co-located teams often result in early success, but the real challenge is how
to translate that success into an enterprise deployment. How to best organize teams and people,
determining whether existing tools can support Agile, and evolving existing
governance and quality management are among the critical questions that have to
be answered.
Successfully
deploying Agile throughout an organization and scaling it up for larger teams
is achievable with the right support, planning and tools. In this webcast Sapient shares our first hand
experience transforming our organization of 5,000 IT and business consultants
and the lessons learned helping others move to Agile.
Key
topics covered include:
- Strategies
for helping larger and distributed teams overcome common challenges faced
when adopting Agile
- Role that
tools play in enabling teams to work efficiently while providing business
owners the visibility they require
- Importance
of getting help from those who have been there
- Aligning
business and technical teams around a new improved way of working
- Achieving
needed consistency and standardization without sacrificing the benefits of
Agile
Please join Brian Carter from Sapient Corporation and learn how to successfully drive Agile throughout your enterprise.

Agile Development has emerged as a serious alternative to the traditional "waterfall" software development lifecycle. After years as a programmer-driven initiative, many companies are now tackling Agile head on. The challenge is how to integrate this new lifecycle into your existing project management and development management methodologies.
Come hear from industry expert John Scumniotales, co-developer of the SCRUM Agile methodology, as he discusses how to manage projects and teams using Agile. John will provide insight and practical tips on:
- How to introduce Agile to your traditional SDLC projects
- How to organize and manage Agile projects with minimal impact on developers
- How to rollup Agile and Waterfall projects into a single enterprise view
- How to implement enterprise-strength processes to a methodology that is, by design, process-adverse
- A "behind the scenes" real-world case of how one company is moving from Waterfall to Agile

Organizations eager to take advantage of the benefits touted by Agilists may inappropriately attempt an all or nothing-at-all, top-down approach to Agile adoption. However, experience has shown that successful Agile adoptions must always begin at the team level and must be guided by a clear, step-wise approach. In this view of both Agile maturity and scaling, Jean borrows from the Lean Thinking principles of attaining total value delivery: perfect your ability to maintain Flow of value, learn to use the principle of Pull in order to deliver even more value, and embrace an organizational imperative to Innovate so that value is forever redefined and re-emerging.
