Agile software development methodologies are garnering a lot of interest these days. While Agile methodologies started out focused on supporting relatively small teams, more and more large enterprises are looking to adopt Agile approaches for major projects or their entire organization. Application of traditional Agile methodologies as-is does not address enterprise concerns such as scalability and regulatory compliance. This paper will show that Agile practices and approaches must be blended with proven enterprise practices to achieve the right mix of agility and discipline. Scalability is achieved by leveraging a robust and unified application lifecycle management solution to automate processes and activities where possible, improve visibility and transparency across the organization, and automatically provide status reporting as a byproduct of the activities the team performs using the solution.
