Presentation synopsis:
Stealth
Methodology Adoption
Facing resistance when implementing new development
process changes within an organization? Sometimes big
changes need to be packaged to make them appear to be
minor adjustments to the current process. Agile software
development methods can coexist within SW-CMM/CMMI
environments, but sometimes they need to be described in
a way that makes them seem less threatening to the
"process police" -- this presentation will show you how.
