Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the first agile book I have read which actually contains a methodology. The book starts off with an explanation of key terms, such as distributed verse collocated agile. Then the author talks about the different ways systems can be built and introduces the DH2A approach, which is the author's proven technique for developing applications using agile. There are many examples given of how to apply each technique, from appraisal, to estimating, planning, and then implementing. I work as a software developer on a project team starting a distributed agile project, and our scrum master made this book required reading for each member of the team, including even the product owner. A good read even if your team is not distributed you can still use the techniques.

If you have ever worked on an Agile software development project, you know the importance of face-to-face communication. Having both business and IT professionals working together in the same room can become the critical success factor. Can Agile be successful though when team members are scattered across rooms, buildings, regions, or even countries?
Yes! By following the Design for Hybrid Agile Adoption (DH2A) approach, framework and set of templates and tools explained in this book, you can implement successful Agile projects. After reading this book, you will master these ten objectives:
Assess your project's capability in adopting the DH2A Methodology
Know how to apply the tools to determine whether your project will achieve the benefits promised by the DH2A Methodology
Learn how DH2A Methodology solves the traditional problem of Agile to estimate in a fixed price model
Calculate the ratio of resources divided between different distributed locations
Leverage DH2A Tools to adopt the different Engineering Practices in a distributed environment
Apply collaborations techniques to make distributed Agile successful
Use metrics to measure success of your distributed Agile projects
Know which types of meetings are needed to make Agile successful in a distributed environment
Assign the roles to make distributed Agile successful and to avoid redundant roles currently existing in today's Agile methodologies
Rollout the DH2A Methodology across your entire organization
Distributed Agile contains three sections. Section I provides the basics of distributed Agile and DH2A, compares collocated with distributed Agile, and shares the rewards of following a distributed Agile approach. Section II dives into the DH2A methodology, with entire chapters dedicated to the Appraisal Segment, Estimation Segment, Planning Segment, and Implementation Segment. In addition there is a chapter in Section II on the roles required to make DH2A a success. Section III focuses on the DH2A framework, with an emphasis on Project Management Office and Governance. Actual case studies are used to illustrate the many useful tools within this text.
