Study Notes

Agile Development and Lean Product Management in Software Development

Agile teams often work on predefined requirements or user stories without the ability to modify them, regardless of their expertise.
Narrative cards in Agile teams serve as reminders of client-team discussions and are based on desired business outcomes or problems to be solved.
To fully benefit from software development methodologies, organizations must enable teams to experiment with actual users to achieve predetermined business results.
Lean product management allows teams to rapidly prototype and test concepts, incorporating newfound knowledge into product design.
Lean product management, including experimentation, is linked to features such as visibility of work, working in small batches, and customer feedback visibility.
Version control systems like Git, Subversion, and Mercurial enable teams to manage files, automate, and coordinate creation, access, updating, and deletion of files.
Automation and continuous integration rely on version control for source code, automation's source code, and automatic configuration and data distribution.
Version control is essential for source code, test and deployment scripts, infrastructure and application configuration, and libraries and packages relied on for product delivery improvement.
Version control assists in disaster recovery, auditability, reproducibility, and traceability, which are essential for meeting requirements and total usage predicts continuous delivery.
Metadata are organized reference material that aids in classifying and identifying characteristics of the data they describe.
Automatic preparation from version control allows teams to gain feedback on the impact of their changes more quickly, reducing delays in software delivery.
Implementing version control involves outlining measurable objectives, tracking changes made to files, and managing commits or revisions to reduce risks and provide rollback options.
