Congrats to my friends at Rally Software on the announcement that they’ve signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by CA Technologies for $480 million. Rally started out life as F4 Technologies.

At this point the product and technology organization has its marching orders, and they typically work the items from the highest priority on down. This is usually where Agile finally enters the picture. Anyway, the engineers will typically break up the work into a set of iterations - called “sprints” in the Scrum process.

You can provide flexibility in terms of choosing which technology solutions, languages, tools they can use. You have development practices in place (Agile, Scrum, test driven, etc). Your team understands the technology it is using--sounds silly but when people use the new new hotness, they don't always understand it completely.

I hope to show why lean and agile techniques actually reduce the negative impacts of technical debt and increase our ability to take advantage of its positive effects. Yet other agile principles suggest the opposite, as in YAGNI and DoTheSimplestThingThatCouldPossiblyWork. Reconciling these principles requires a little humility.

I know plenty of people who prefer more advanced source control system, but my belief is that many agile practices diminish the importance of advanced features like branching.

But by taking advantage of open source, agile software, and iterative development, lean startups can operate with much less waste. So far, I have found "lean startup" works better with the entrepreneurs Ive talked to than "agile startup" or even "extreme startup.") Of course, many startups are capital efficient and generally frugal.

This is on the technology side. Watch for that and also continue using technology in a periodic standpoint, retesting them to validating, to say, “Do I still need the thing I tested two years ago?” Or should it be a part of the development organization or in the Agile development environment? Why is that so complex?
