  • Conference paper
Agile Processes in Software Engineering and Extreme Programming (XP 2007)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 4536))

Abstract

This paper describes a process initiative within IBM to make the Corporate Portal (ibm.com) development practices more responsive to changing customer needs and explains the bottlenecks that arose with application deployment when this agile approach was not initially extended throughout the wider solution delivery lifecycle. The paper details the simple process changes that were adopted to expand the agile philosophy beyond development.
