The Agile Heartbeat
When an organization goes Agile, who’s the most affected? Programmers? Testers? Stakeholders? Quality engineers? In this 20-page technical paper, John Graham-Cumming argues that it’s the build manager. For developers and most of the team, agile techniques are a natural fit because they reflect how developers like to work best: on small, manageable pieces of code with regular feedback.
Even though developers are working on small sections of code, the overall projects they are part of are now very large. So there's no going back to a small build on a single machine for build managers. While developers may have broken their work down into small units that they can code and test, the overall size of most enterprise software projects is constantly growing. And it's the large body of code that the build manager is expected to work with, not the manageable chunks that developers deal with. Fortunately, here are steps that you can take to make the build process more manageable – learn how, read this technical paper today!
