I would like to make a good case to our team that our existing disparate systems need to talk to each other if we wish to be productive. Any pointers? We have svn JIRA + GrassHopper (only being used as Agile dashboard) TeamTrack The list can change, because we want to stop paying for JIRA and TeamTrack. ...

Hey guys, I am looking to introduce an agile method to my boss so that we could hopefully implement it at our work place.

Please let me know. Thank...
I am taking a software development class right now and we are discussing agile methodologies. What are the most common agile methods? I need to look into several and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. Seems more useful to look into the most prominent methods.

What are the top things you have found to be still very relevant from the PMI world for the Agile Scrum way of managing projects? Do you think PMP will be almost useless except in organizations which develop software in waterfall or waterfall v-methodology (practices in Telecoms, Industrial control software domains etc?) ...
I have been working as a .net developer following waterfall model. When working on, say a 12 months project, usually my team follows Analysis, Design, Coding and Testing phases. But when it comes to following Scrum process, I don't really understand How I need to deal with it. Consider a sprint for 4 weeks and our backlog has 10 items, ...
I'm coding with two other friends and we're all using the same repository. For some reason, git randomly fails for me, and only me. error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/ objects What's intriguing is that we noticed that when friend A pushes his code, I don't get this error anymore, and I can h...

Hi, I recently shifted to a new organization that follow Agile mode of development. The current project we are working has stalled due to many requirement changes that were reported recently.

How can the repetition of a very short development cycle help to remove bugs from your software? What bugs is TDD most effective in catching, when implemented correctly? And why? Thanks in advance! ...
Scrum and agile says that items on the current sprint backlog should be approached in priority order, and one item at a time by the whole team. Practically, that never seems to work for our team. Either the item is too small for all team members to be productive (including taking pairing into account). So we end up perhaps doing two or ...
