CMMI Does Not Require Waterfall
What the CMMI is not:
– CMMI is not “Waterfall”.
CMMI does not require any particular lifecycle.

Agile Manifesto
www.agilemanifesto.org
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.
Don't misread as there is “no value” to the things on the right.

What is Scrum? (1/2)
Scrum is an iterative incremental process of
software development commonly used with
agile software development.
– Despite the fact that "Scrum" is not an
acronym, some companies implementing the
process have been known to adhere to an all
capital letter expression of the word, i.e.
SCRUM. This may be due to one of Ken
Schwaber's early papers capitalizing SCRUM
in the title.

Realized Benefits from Scrum
In Jeff Sutherland’s, “Hyperproductive Distributed Scrum
Teams” presentation Google TechTalk, July 2008 he
documented:
“Excellent Scrum – annual revenue up 400%
• Patient Keeper
• Others in Scandinavia, “I cannot name”
Good Scrum – revenues up 300%
• Companies in Scandinavia, “I cannot name”
Pretty Good Scrum – revenues up 150-200%
• Google 160%
• Systematic Software Engineering 200% (pre 2008)
ScrumBut – revenues up 0-35%
• Yahoo, most companies”

Scrum and XP
• The first Scrum used all the XP engineering
practices, set-based concurrent engineering,
and viewed software development as
maintenance, not manufacturing.
• Most high performance teams use Scrum
and XP together.
• It is hard to get a Scrum with extreme
velocity without XP engineering practices.
• You cannot scale XP without Scrum.

XP as an Example
• eXtreme Programming covers
– Programming (test-first programming, automated
unit tests, Simple Design (YAGNI), Refactoring)
– Planning (Planning game, frequent/small Releases,
short iterations, flexible plans, 40 hour week)
– Customer (Dedicated, Onsite, Automated
Acceptance Tests, Customer Steers)
– Pair (Pair Programming, Open Workspace, Collective
Ownership, Integration Machine)
– Team (Continuous Integration, Coding Standard,
Metaphor)

Simple Comparison
CMMI
Agile/Scrum
• A structured collection of
best practices
• “What” you should do
• Focus is on improving
product quality through
process performance
© 2010
Agile/Scrum Development Using the CMMI® Framework
• A set of rules that
constrains behavior
• “How” you should do it
• Focus is on increasing
customer satisfaction

Common Failures with Scrum
1. Misunderstanding what Scrum is
(and is not)
2. Software not tested at end of sprint
(definition of Done)
3. Backlog not ready at beginning of sprint
(definition of Ready)
4. Lack of facilitation or bad facilitation
5. Lack of management support
6. Lack of client, customer, or end user
support

Right Level of Process (2/2)
Anvil Project Weekly Status Report
User Stories Completed
– As a User, I want to be able to use my anvil
24/7
– As a User (all personas), I want to be able
to carry my anvil
– …
Lessons Learned during the sprint
– Breaking down stories into 20 points or less
is a big help
– …
Impediments (not closed during week)
– Testers assigned to multiple projects
– …
Risks
– User environment may not be ready on time
for final acceptance testing
– ….
