Key Lessons From Tailoring Agile Methods for Large-Scale Software Development

Abstract

The authors provide advice from one of the largest development programs in Norway, where 12 scrum teams combined agile practices with traditional project management. The Perform program delivered 12 releases over a four-year period, finishing on budget and on time. The authors summarize 10 key lessons on five crucial topics that are relevant to other large development projects seeking to combine scrum with traditional project management.
