Laxmi Publications Pvt. Ltd, 2007. Softcover. New. In this era of globalisation, outsourcing has emerged as a key strategy not only for achieving competitive advantage, but for survival. However, despite widespread adoption of the practice, there are few practical guidelines in the market regarding how to manage oursourced projects optimally. Global Outsourcing with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System teaches how to execute outsourced projects in the real world. Because an enterprise software project involves many parties?and VSTS aims to unify them?the book is written for a variety project stakeholders, such as project managers, process experts, team leads, developers, testers, and other IT professionals. With this in mind, the content is broad, with technical deep-dives in critical areas. The book provides best practice guidelines based upon empirical experience of leading practitioners in the oursourcing industry. It shows how to construct result-oriented development processes for mitigating execution risk, improving quality, and increasing efficiency. The first part of the book discusses the nature of the outsourcing business and the need to develop an effective methodology to streamline globally distributed development activities. The remainder of the book examines various aspects of VSTS from the perspective of managing oursourced projects. Starting with a general discussion about a particular problem area, an issue is first covered from a high level, using VSTS feature descriptions as well as walk-throughs; the material then gets progressively more detailed. Toward the end of key chapters, source code examples and technical matters are discussed. If you are part of a team managing outsourced projects, this is an invaluable resource. Contents: 1.

Sacolick, a consultant who has been a chief information officer for multiple organizations, outlines five critical practices to drive business transformation through technology and help companies compete in a digital environment, deliver positive customer experiences, develop digitally driven products, and leverage data for strategic insights. The approaches relate to agile practices, technology operations and architecture, ideation and portfolio management, data science programs, and product management. He describes how to get the information technology team ready with digital practices; propel investment and innovation by enabling practices that capture ideas from employees, feedback from customers, and other market research, and develop initiatives that can be planned efficiently, aligned to growth and efficiencies, and prioritized based on financial and strategic returns; develop the foundations for digital execution by growing data science programs, data services, and product management practices that drive the data-driven organization to develop digital products and services; and drive digital growth and culture by getting early adopters to join the transformation program and lead the organization to drive digital by becoming smarter and faster.

The Art of Agile Development contains practical, down-to-earth guidance for anyone involved in or considering the agile method -- and Extreme Programming in particular -- to build reliable software. Agile development methods have become increasingly popular because too many software projects have failed to meet expected release dates, deliver the required features, or to match projected costs. This book provides no-nonsense advice on agile planning, development, delivery, and management taken from the authors` many years of experience. While plenty of books address the what and why of agile development, very few offer developers, managers, stakeholders and users the information they can apply directly. The Art of Agile Development provides a gestalt view of the agile development process that serves as a comprehensive introduction for non-technical readers, along with hands-on technical practices for programmers and developers. The book also tackles the people aspect of Extreme Programming. Other books focus solely on the process; this book deals with the need for face-to-face interaction, which is the most difficult aspect of working in an agile development. You`ll find clear answers to questions such as: How can we adopt agile development? Do we really need to pair program? What metrics should we report? What if I can`t get my customer to participate? How much documentation should we write? When do we design and architect? As a non-developer, how should I work with my agile team? Where is my product roadmap? How does QA fit in? The book teaches you how to adopt XP practices, describes each practice in detail, then discusses principles that will allow you to modify XP and create your own agile method. In particular, this book tackles the difficult aspects of agile development: the need for cooperation and trust among team members. Whether you`re currently part of an agile team, working with an agile team, or interested in agile development, this book provides the practical tips you need to start practicing agile development. As your experience grows, the book will grow with you, providing exercises and information that will teach you first to understand the rules of agile development, break them, and ultimately abandon rules altogether as you master the art of agile development. "Jim Shore and Shane Warden expertly explain the practices and benefits of Extreme Programming. They offer advice from their real-world experiences in leading teams. They answer questions about the practices and show contraindications - ways that a practice may be mis-applied. They offer alternatives you can try if there are impediments to applying a practice, such as the lack of an on-site customer. --Ken Pugh, Author of Jolt Award Winner, Prefactoring "I will leave a copy of this book with every team I visit." --Brian Marick, Exampler Consulting Printed Pages: 446., Shroff Publishers/O`Reilly, 2007, 6<

But all too often when we interact with peopleespecially those who report to uswe simply tell them what we think they need to know. This shuts them down. To generate bold new ideas, to avoid disastrous mistakes, to develop agility and flexibility, we need to practice Humble Inquiry. Ed Schein defines Humble Inquiry as "the fine art of drawing someone out, of asking questions to which you do not know the answer, of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in the other person." In this seminal work, Schein contrasts Humble Inquiry with other kinds of inquiry, shows the benefits Humble Inquiry provides in many different settings, and offers advice on overcoming the cultural, organizational, and psychological barriers that keep us from practicing it., Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2013, 6, Shroff Publishers/O`Reilly, 2007.
