Synopsis:
Agile Resiliency
IT and Software Engineering are embracing Agile methods to benefit from incremental and iterative delivery. Nonetheless, many technology-dependent clients, including large corporations and government, are anything but Agile.
These clients say they want to "be Agile," but their business practices (for requirements, procurement, project management, and systems engineering) are still operating using waterfall methodology. It is not a conflict that will be easily resolved, but there is opportunity to take control of the debate.
An approach to capitalizing on this opportunity is "Agile Resiliency." It is about strengthening and reinforcing Agile values, methods, and techniques to scale and thrive in this conflicted environment by judiciously integrating Agile with the architectural strengths of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). CMMI is a proven, widely adopted framework used to deploy a continuous improvement infrastructure. While the CMMI has been successfully deployed in support of more "traditional" development projects, its strengths can be leveraged to strengthen Agile methods as well. Why not embrace both?
