Agile methodology

As a project manager of a project which was in transition from RUP (Rational Unified Process) to Agile programming ,there was a huge challenge in front of me. One is to make the Designers,Tech leads and developers to make a shift in their attitude in-order to adapt to very short iterations almost one fourth of RUP based previous iterations.

The estimates were tuned to the new change of very short iterations (Say 4 weeks).

The organisation for which I'm working is CMM-Level 5, which mandates us to produce a certain optimum amount of documentation.In essence the QA activities of the team became quite a nightmare to manage.

These are some of the information resources which helped to achieve this.
