XP, CMMI & Me
Ok, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. It’s the busy time of the year at work and I am also back at uni for my second semester.
Things are shaping up really nicely at uni and I think I’m starting to get a much better idea of the direction I’d like my course to take. This semester I’ve decided to study a subject on Software Process Improvement and the Agile Development Project , a new subject at Swinburne that focuses on applying a variety of “Agile” approaches with the aim of gaining a better understanding of how they can used practically.
Agile methodologies seem to be gaining popularity rapidly and it’s an area that I’ve been meaning to learn more about for a while now. The other subject that I’m doing focuses primarily on CMMI, and a few other process improvement models. The main reason that I chose this particular combination of subjects is so I could gain an appreciation for the relationship between practical approaches like XP (and the other agile methodologies) and quality models like CMMI, Six Sigma etc. I’m going to try and blog a bit more about this topic as my understanding of this area grows.
Thanks bren
