4. Adoption Starts with A Pilot Team © 2009 Rally Software Development, Inc. 4 Agile organizations are built in steps… In Step 1, Teams pilot Agile. These teams include testers who are co-locatedwith developers. The Quality Focus is on the “Whole Team” approach. In Step 2 of an Agile transition, we focus on maturing Agile Pilot Teams and their practices. It’s typical in this phase to concentrate on improving test infrastructure including automated build and test.
