In October 2009, I presented a well-received session entitled An Agile Engineering Environment (in 59 Minutes or Less) at an Agile conference in Chengdu, China. From 2009 – 2015 the environment presented in that session remained fundamentally unchanged as our primary internal development environment. By 2015, however, we began seeing the emergence of new tools which build upon the basic premises of that environment, but enable an even more robust environment to be established even more quickly and independently than the 59-minute environment realized in the 2009 session. In this session, we will briefly introduce the original configuration and see how modern tooling and techniques enable the improved environment to be established in a fraction of the time, enabling even greater agility in our engineering environment.

9. Setting the context

10. 10
Purpose:
• To describe an agile engineering environment and share some options
for establishing such an environment
Outcomes:
• Understand many of the key components that can be used to establish
an agile engineering environment
• Gain exposure to various tools which can be used to build out an agile
engineering environment
• Hopefully everyone will walk away with knowledge of at least one new
tool (that you can go back and think about putting into use on Monday)
Purpose and Outcomes

11. 11
• What comprises an Agile engineering environment
• The environment itself
• Open environment — bring your toolbox
• No walls, open, whiteboards
• Open minds
• Open culture
• Tools
• This is what we’ll focus on today
• What do you use?
An Agile Engineering Environment

12. 12
• If you have a chance to do so, start off right
• If you don’t have a chance to start off right, set a plan
to make things right
