Toward a Whole(er) team

by Matt Ganis

Presented at the Nov. 13th meeting of APLN-NYC

the powerpoint or pdf version

 

In this presentation (which is part of my Doctoral Dissertation at Pace University's Siedenberg School of Computer Science) I present the results of various retrospectives and team evaluations taken over a 3 year period to access the value of the "Whole team" practice in Agile methods.

 

There are various practices that surround Agile methods such as pair programming, coding standards, planning games, etc. One that seems to implied (I rarely see it mentioned as one of the key practices) is that of the whole team - the concept that everyone that is required for a successful launch of a project should be part of the Agile team.

 

In this work, I evaluated the various team configurations we've gone through at ibm.com (an organization within the Sales & Distribution division of IBM) in an attempt to understand the ramifcation of not implementing a whole team. While the results are preliminary, it appears there is a marked increase in customer satisfaction as well as team satisfaction when the use of "whole team" is employed.
