 Agile has grown
and evolved from a very simple developer centric process defined by Extreme
Programming to a complex product brand that enterprises are using to bring more
resiliency to governance programs, enterprise architecture initiatives, and
application portfolio management efforts. But at its roots, there remains a key
fundamental aspect that defines the essence of agility on the software
development project. Continuous Integration is a strategy where software is
integrated and built continuously, or at least as frequently as is feasibly
possible. Many teams have adopted a continuous integration strategy, yet do not
fully realize all the benefits that continuous integration might bring to the
development effort. This article discusses the subtle though significant ways
that continuous integration can be leveraged -from helping to align IT with the
business to enforcing architectural constraints - and shows that this
fundamental aspect of agility is the defining and necessary element of a truly
agile development experience.Agile has grown
