Towards Intermediate-Agile Model Based On Agile Through Requirement Management And Development Enhancements

the requirements management and development are very important parts and activities in the software development life cycle, and the “Agile” is one of the most common and widely used software life cycle models. But applying agile methodology most probably shows that, it contains some problems related to requirements management and development. This paper suggests a new software development life cycle model called “Intermediate-Agile” based on “Agile” model but with some changes in the life cycle, best practices, documentation templates and enhancements in the activities of requirement gathering and management to cover these problems. After explaining “Intermediate-Agile” and “Agile” models, the paper evaluates the new model against normal agile model according to the CMMI-Dev 1.2v goals. CMMI is a quality assurance standard which contains many quality areas targeting the best quality of the software cycle deliverables. This paper focuses on “requirement management” and “requirement development” process areas in CMMI which are the most areas that “Intermediate-Agile” model represents the enhancements.
