Key Lessons from Tailoring Agile Methods for Large-Scale Software Development
This provides practical advice for large development projects seeking to combine Scrum with traditional project management, but it is incremental as it builds on existing agile and project management practices.
The paper tackles the challenge of integrating agile methods with traditional project management in large-scale software development, based on a case study from Norway's Perform program, which successfully delivered 12 releases on time and on budget over four years.
We describe advice derived from one of the largest development programs in Norway, where twelve Scrum teams combined agile practices with traditional project management. The Perform program delivered 12 releases over a four-year period, and finished on budget and on time. In this article, we summarize 12 key lessons on five crucial topics, relevant to other large development projects seeking to combine Scrum with traditional project management.
