Software Development Using Scrum

This ground-breaking book distills the experience of the author in dealing with problems in industry that can be solved by using the SELECT Perspective. A pragmatic component-based approach for the development of enterprise systems, the SELECT Perspective comprises a unique blend of techniques, architecture, and process. Enterprise software development presents challenges of sheer scale and complexity that continue to accelerate at a terrific pace. Businesses are becoming increasingly adaptive and are calling for software that is more and more flexible. Component technology holds the promise of solving these problems, but there are some complications. For example, many organizations continue to struggle with the challenge of integrating their legacy systems with the newer technology. The approach in this book offers a streamlined set of modeling techniques based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML); uses a serviced-based architecture that provides an overall design philosophy for reu

Green computing is a revolutionary technique that addresses environmental sustainability. It uses an eco-friendly approach to the design, manufacture, and use of computing resources. This is achieved by cutting down on electronic waste, using renewable energy sources, and consuming less energy. Recyclable materials with minimal environmental impact, software engineering techniques that are optimised, and energy-efficient hardware are examples of many approaches. Advanced technologies such as low-power processors, smart grids, and virtualized computing environments contribute to energy efficiency and waste reduction. Furthermore, integrating green computing with renewable energy sources amplifies its positive impact on the environment. The adoption of green computing practices promotes a circular economy, encourages resource conservation, and supports climate action.Green Computing for Sustainable Development features chapters that explore issues that concerned with furthering sustainab

From its origins in 1976, Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics has become a best seller, providing students across the business specialisms with an introductory survey of descriptive and inferential statistics. With a step-by-step approach and clear writing style, any student can learn and succeed in Business Statistics.The new edition includes a focus on the development of basic data analytical skills. Microsoft Excel, Minitab, and MegaStat are used throughout the text to illustrate statistical software analyses, and screen captures are used within the chapters, so the student becomes familiar with the nature of the software output. Additional resources are available online through Connect, with references or links in the text to Excel tutorials that provide users with clear demonstrations using statistical software to create graphical and descriptive statistics and analyses to test hypotheses.What's changed:The Nineteenth Edition made several changes to the flow and organ

Remote software development work is the "new normal" and that won't change anytime soon. But conventional distributed agile software development attempts to be too "synchronous" to support today's remote teams. Too many meetings, ceremonies, and rituals quickly become unsustainable when teams are spread across multiple time zones. The result: burnout, constant interruptions, poor work-life balance, greater frustration, and workplaces where few people can truly thrive. In The Async-First Playbook, Thoughtworks principal project manager Sumeet Gayathri Moghe addresses the problem head-on, revamping agile to embed remote-native, asynchronous work practices that fit the realities of remote development. Drawing on extensive personal experience leading distributed teams, Moghe addresses both the "nuts and bolts" of specific practices and crucial "softer" elements, such as culture, mindset, and leadership. Short, practical chapters revisit traditional agile rituals such as sprints and pair pr

A comprehensive introduction and teaching resource for state-of-the-art Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) using R software. This guide facilitates the efficient teaching, independent learning, and use of QCA with the best available software, reducing the time and effort required when encountering not just the logic of a new method, but also new software. With its applied and practical focus, the book offers a genuinely simple and intuitive resource for implementing the most complete protocol of QCA. To make the lives of students, teachers, researchers, and practitioners as easy as possible, the book includes learning goals, core points, empirical examples, and tips for good practices. The freely available online material provides a rich body of additional resources to aid users in their learning process. Beyond performing core analyses with the R package QCA, the book also facilitates a close integration with the R package SetMethods allowing for a host of additional protocols for

This book focuses on the practical application of statistical techniques for assessing measurement invariance with less emphasis on theoretical development or exposition. Instead, it describes the methods using a pedagogical framework followed by extensive illustrations that demonstrate how to use software to analyze real data. The chapters illustrate the practical methods to assess measurement invariance and shows how to apply them to a range of data.
