Agile Killed CMMi ??

Lets Get it Straigt. I was a part of a CMMi 5 Company in the Past and I am right now practicing agile methods.

Lets be more simple and straigt forward, I feel Agile is going to Kill CMMi Practices as It grows !!!

Once opon a time I was also a part of Lengthy, Boaring, Sleepy CMMi Process Discussions..Which I feel is a dead weastage for skilled manpower in any sort of organization...

This is a Big Picture of that, Click on this link...

Inside a CMM Discussion room, you waste your Energy, your Organizations Pen, Paper, Electricity and Some Biscuts and Nuts if they provide.

Let me talk about some Agile..

You have a Project to Complete...

You Devided the timeline into spints, teams into scrum..

Each sprint is at the max 4 weeks..

Each Scrum team has 5 to 9 people...

We dont have a team leader here, but We have a Scrum master. he is just a facilitator, rather then a conventional 'team leader' who treats the employees below him as modern day slaves...I m not insane, It happens manytimes...you knew it !!!

Every activity that should be completed will go to the product backlog...(in a Excel sheet may be)

Scrum team will contain people with different skill sets.

Scrum teams will pick up backlog items from the on going sprint..

Scrum teams completes it, shows a demonstration of it at the end of the sprint.

The Manifesto of Agile is below:

We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.

Looks Good ?? is it ??..

Think Simple...In My Views...Agile is the Best Practice to Follow in any type of Organization, I am telling you, you save cost, resource and all the bla bla on that.
