An agile process replaces upfront design with the focus on the ability to react and to decide based on the current situation. But, to take the right decision we need to be able to assess the situation accurately and fast. However, software systems are large and complex and they handle large amounts of data. Thus, they present many more details than we can reliably control. Approaching the problem in an ad-hoc manner does not benefit us.
Assessment is a critical activity to ensure proper decisions involving large amounts of details. And it is expensive, too, with various studies reporting assessment to account for as much as 50% of the total development effort. As such, it should be addressed explicitly in the development process.
In this talk, Tudor Girba will provide an overview on the problem of assessment and illustrate how the current popular approaches fail to solve it because they are either ad-hoc or too generic. He then describes agile assessment, a new approach that puts emphasis on offering contextual and continuous feedback.
