What’s the secret to staying fresh, lean and mean when you’re a hot tech company on a fast growth trajectory? A fascinating document brought to our attention today today by Andrew Mager, hacker advocate at Spotify, answers that question in some detail by telling us how the music streaming juggernaut does it: by dividing up its business into small clusters — which it calls ‘squads’ — and running each like a startup in its own right.

Redmine is a popular open source project management web application. It was written using the Ruby on Rails framework. This software is more oriented towards a traditional approach for project management with Gantt charts and calendar. Redmine architecture allows however creating plugins to add additional features. The development of a number of Agile and Lean plugins has therefore been started in these past years. However not all those plugins have been in continuous development until the current release of Redmine 1.2.1. You will find below a list of Scrum and Kanban plugins that you could consider to use. You might also decide to fork some of the “abandoned” projects if you are willing to put them up to date. The number of these plugins is limited and trying to add Scrum/Kanban support to Redmine might not be the easier road for your Agile open source journey. For people that are looking for open source solutions, the Open Source Scrum Tools Directory is a good place to visit to have an idea of available open source Scrum tools.

Agile principles to software development are essentially about project and team management, with only sparse recommendations regarding products engineering or processes design. Given this seeming oversight some have even argued that there is no room for models and milestones under the agile roof. Such misconceptions could be unfortunate, especially for project managers having to deal with organizational or architectural dependencies. But omission is not opposition as authors like Robert C. Martin or Dean Leffingwell have demonstrated respectively for products and processes.

Maybe it’s all the time I spend with startups, but while I strongly value Scrum’s ideas behind self-organizing teams & continual feedback – I can’t help but feel Kanban represents the next level of agility, giving us more flexibility and capitalizing on the lessons we’ve learned from Lean.

Developing software can be a complicated process because it combines multiple activities and modules at the same time. The waterfall model, which splits the process into tasks (much like the manufacturing method of assembling a unit) was the preferred software development for many years. That is, until the Agile methodology came along. Unlike the waterfall model, Agile is quick, dynamic, and iterative. It can also be chaotic.
