1. Adaption of Agile Development Technique Chak Chi Sio 4/21/2010

2. Current Approach Students make their own team. Roles are assigned and then student do things seperately and concurrently Pros –Fast

3. Current Process Shortfalls Lack of cooperating techniques No flow of knowledge among team members Assumes too much on one’s capability

4. Two Possible Solution Pair Programming Co-locating developers Both of these are agile development techniques

5. Technique 1 – Pair Programming

6. Pros and Cons of Pair Programming Cons –15% Slower –conflicts Pros –15% fewer defects –Indirectly reduce cost. –Better design –Enhances technical skills –Improves team communications

7. Technique 2 – Co-locating developers Cons –Hard to coordinate, doesn’t work well in a large team that have more than 10 people Pros –Faster to get your questions answered –higher flow of knowledge among the team –Potentially lower learning curve of new development framework, or tools

8. How to Adapt? Partially integrate these techiques Coding session Pair programing session Not limited to coding, it works with documentation as well
