Neglecting Agile Principles and Practices: A Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agile processes are expected to follow a set of well known agile principles and practices. This paper analyses the utilization of an agile process in a project that imposes certain difficulties in meeting such principles and practices in their totality, particularly those that refer to daily face-to-face communication among team members and frequent delivery of new versions of the product in short periods of time within a predictable schedule. A process based on Scrum was adapted to be utilized in a project which had its members distributed in different locations and that required the utilization of emergent technologies not familiar to the developers. Keywords-Agile principles; agile methods; agile practices; Scrum
