What Is It All About

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Good Practices for Agile Documentation

www.luxoft.com

Agile Docs Good Practices: Executable Specs

Prefer Executable Specifications Over Static Documents. Requirements can be captured as “executable documentation” in the form of the test.

www.luxoft.com

Agile Docs Good Practices: Simplicity

Keep Documentation Just Simple Enough, but not Too Simple. The best documentation is the simplest that gets the job done.

Agile Docs Good Practices: Information Radiator

Display Information Publicly. Whiteboard, corkboard, internal video site. Transfer information through the application of Information Radiator.

Agile Docs Good Practices: Golden Source

Golden Source. Keep all relevant documentation in one known place that everyone has an access.

We also suggest using wiki and social engines for easy collaborative editing and sharing.

Explicit And Tacit Knowledge

www.luxoft.com

Tacit Knowledge vs. Explicit Knowledge Codifiability and mechanism of

transferring knowledge. Tacit knowledge is intuitive and unarticulated knowledge cannot be communicated, understood or used without the ‘knowing subject’.

Main methods for the acquisition and accumulation. Tacit knowledge can only be acquired through practical experience in the relevant context.

Potential of aggregation and modes of appropriation. Tacit knowledge is personal contextual. It is distributive, and cannot easily be aggregated.

Pair Programming

Tacit to Tacit knowledge transition Two programmers code together at one

workstation. Driver types code, and observer

reviews and criticizes it Roles are switched periodically Pair programming is NOT mentoring,

even if one is significantly more experienced

Community of Practice (CoP)

Primary mechanism for spreading good ideas among teams

The most effective type of community of practice is one that forms organically
