Development (AMDD)

Agile Modeling (AM)



AM is a chaordic, practices-based process for modeling
and documentation
AM is a collection of practices based on several values
and proven software engineering principles
AM is a light-weight approach for enhancing modeling
and documentation efforts for other software processes
such as XP and RUP
2
The Core of AM
You Need to Adopt at Least the Core
Core Principles
Core Practices
 Assume Simplicity
 Active Stakeholder Participation
 Embrace Change
 Apply the Right Artifact(s)
 Enabling the Next Effort is
 Collective Ownership
Your Secondary Goal
 Create Several Models in Parallel
 Incremental Change
 Create Simple Content
 Model With a Purpose
 Depict Models Simply
 Multiple Models
 Display Models Publicly
 Maximize Stakeholder
 Iterate to Another Artifact
Investment
 Model in Small Increments
 Quality Work
 Model With Others
 Rapid Feedback
 Prove it With Code
 Software Is Your Primary Goal
 Single Source Information
 Travel Light
 Use the Simplest Tools

What Are Agile Models?

Agile models:








Fulfill their purpose
Are understandable
Are sufficiently accurate
Are sufficiently consistent
Are sufficiently detailed
Provide positive value
Are as simple as possible
Just Barely
Good Enough
Ideal
Realistic
Value
Effort
Agile models are just
barely enough!

Tests as Primary Artifacts
Reduce Documentation by Single Sourcing Information

Acceptance tests are considered to be
primary requirements artifacts


Unit tests are considered to be detailed
design artifacts


You can reduce your requirements documentation
dramatically by not recording the same
information twice
You can reduce your design documentation
dramatically and increase the chance that your
detailed design artifacts are kept up to date by
coders

Agile Documentation


Travel light – You need far less documentation than you think
Agile documents:









Valid reasons to document:





Maximize stakeholder investment
Are concise
Fulfill a purpose
Describe information that is less likely to change
Describe “good things to know”
Have a specific customer and facilitate the work efforts of that customer
Are sufficiently accurate, consistent, and detailed
Are sufficiently indexed
Your project stakeholders require it
To define a contract model
To support communication with an external group
To think something through

Agile Software Requirements Management
Changing Requirements Are a Competitive Advantage if You Can Act
on Them: www.agilemodeling.com/essays/changeManagement.htm
{
High
Priority
Each iteration implement the highestpriority requirements
Each new requirement is
prioritized and added to
the stack
Requirements may be
reprioritized at any time
Requirements may be
removed at any time
Low
Priority

Active Stakeholder Participation
The Stakeholders are the Experts, Shouldn’t They Model?

Project stakeholders should:





Provide information in a timely manner
Make decisions in a timely manner
Actively participate in business-oriented
modeling

Model With Others



The modeling equivalent of pair
programming
You are fundamentally at risk whenever
someone works on something by
themselves
Several heads are better than one
