program selection system

An introduction to the Atern Agile framework from the DSDM Consortium. DSDM Atern is becoming increasingly recognised as the leader in providing the necessary rigor organisations demand when undertaking programmes (Agile in the Large) and Medium size programmes with the flexibility and responsiveness Agile approaches deliver. The free to view/free to use framework addresses the needs of all involved in the successfully delivery of a project and programme end to end, from the projects inception to post implement support.

Organizational change - for example, the introduction of Agile practices - is like an infection. At first, the infection is localized and the body politic ignores it. Eventually and inevitably, the body politic will take notice, as its expectations and habits are disturbed. At that time, it will marshall its immune system and seek out and destroy the infectious change. IT management’s & business’s immune system is its governance processes. Unless governance processes and expectations are properly aligned with new agile and lean processes, agile and lean change will fail.
