Abstract :
NHN has moved two hundred teams (including more than three thousand software developers, testers, designers, team leaders, project managers and project facilitators) from waterfall development to agile development for the last three years. We have focused on creating self-organizing teams, debt-free iterative development, transparency and automation. It took us about three years of incremental improvements to get to where we are now, and we are continuously trying to improve our organization. This paper will show you how to get started on your transition to agile development, with tips on how to move your team from waterfall to agile, insights into the benefits of agile as well as problems and issues you may experience. We will also cover agile project management, agile development tools, requirements in agile, and agile testing methods.
