Main reasons for looking at “Agile”
a) The time-to-market for a Change or a Fix is ~200 days due to functional as well as technical system landscape complexity
b) There is a back-log of ~200 tickets. Business grows weary of this
c) Ping-pong between DEV and QAS systems causes too much disturbances

Agile and Localization
Oh no, this means more frequent and much smaller handoffs, so much more overhead!

The “Agile Manifesto” – the basics
“Agile” methodologies value:
Individuals and interaction over Processes and tools
Working software over Comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over Contract negotiation
Responding to change over Following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, the items on the left are valued more.

“Agile” methods compared to Waterfall
Key characteristics of ‘Waterfall’ • Plan-Ceremony driven • Command and control management • Single pass waterfall (Sequential model) • Success = compliancy predictive plan • Progress = ‘deliverables’
– Specs/design/code/reviews/signatures
• Resisting/blocking ‘change’
Key characteristics of ‘Agile’ • End-user representative working in one
multidisciplinary team with developers and tester(s); preferably co-located
• Servant-leadership Subtle control • Iterative-incremental process, MoSCoW,
continuous integration, prototyping • Success = business value • Progress = working software • Progressed understanding is factored in
immediately analyze design

Facts on “Agile” methodologies Gartner (2010): ‘Agile is now a mainstream, mature and proven set of
development methods. SAP AG adopted Agile methodologies internally back in 2009 Gartner (2012): ‘Traditional projects need to look past the development
process to find valuable practices in Agile’ SAP (2012) says amongst others: “With an Agile approach you gain buy-in and
build confidence through early review cycles: receive early and frequent confirmation on requirements”
SAP AG (2012) claims Agile has been used successfully in projects of various sizes / scope
