Practical Approaches to Agile Development with ClearCase:
Simple Steps to Achieve Superior Results
Agile Development principles have been gaining popularity in many development discussion circles. Its methodologies hold great promise, but its practices may seem unattainable or too risky for traditional development environments.
Questions often asked are:
Where do I start?
How can I incorporate Agile disciplines with minimal risk to my environment?
What changes will make the biggest improvement in the shortest amount of time?
How do I gain support from senior management?
This Webcast will focus on three areas where small steps can result in big gains: optimizing build, test, and release processes. The session will discuss ways that project teams using Rational ClearCase can adopt Agile practices to generate 20-30% productivity gains, 50% faster build times, and significant improvements in product quality.
Specifically, the session will focus on two areas that can result in big gains: improving build and test processes in a ClearCase environment. Peter Schuh, a well-known speaker and author on the subjects of Extreme Programming and Agile Development, will share strategies that have generated significant results in many R&D organizations. Joe Senner, an expert with two decades of expertise in build and release management practices, will discuss specific approaches that provide the biggest and quickest bang for your development buck.
