Managing a software development project is becoming more challenging due to the complexity of requirements and software development processes. This resulted in many software development projects could not be completed successfully. Therefore, to overcome this problem, a project manager who has the skills and knowledge is required. However, the problems can be reduced by adopting agile methodolo...

Despite the importance of the agile methods and the acknowledgement that they do contribute to the software quality and client satisfaction, little is known about what factors, habits or tools usage have high impact on the product quality. It has been observed that agile practitioners have a different posture towards the development process they use. This paper goal is to report an analysis of ...

Purpose: Little is known about the agile management control systems at public universities, their effects, and limitations in different contexts. This preliminary study addresses this research gap through an empirical of required Polish universities. Approach/Methodology/Design: paper's insights have emerged iteratively by considering both theory case based on Agile Manifesto systems' requireme...

<span>Many software companies and teams use Agile methods as their main development approach. These promise higher team productivity, faster product delivery, a more flexible process, greater customer satisfaction. Nevertheless, review of the literature shows that adapting to these methods, known transition, is not easy expected. However, several frameworks models have been proposed facil...

Agile methods are highly attractive for small projects, but no agile method works well as a standalone system. Therefore, some adaption or customization is always required. In this paper, the Agile Framework for Small Projects (AFSP) was applied to four industry cases. The AFSP provides a structured way for software organizations to adopt agile practices and evaluate the results. The framework ...

This paper describes an empirical study of effort estimation in agile software development. Estimated effort and actual effort of a 46-iteration project are collected and analyzed. The results show that estimation in agile development is more accurate than that in traditional development even though agile developers still underestimate the effort. However, estimation accuracy is not improved ov...

Gaining maximum benefit of Lean and Agile methods requires a thorough understanding of their assumptions regarding culture, mindset, and values. This paper examines the value system structure of experienced developers working with Lean and Agile methods, and compares it to universal human values and individual personality. We developed and deployed an online survey on Lean and Agile values, wit...

Agile methods are a departure from plan-driven traditional approaches, where the focus is on generating early releases of working software using collaborative techniques, code refactoring, and on-site customer involvement. Research and surveys have shown that agile methodologies are an efficient way of producing software with significant advantages in production costs, time-to-market, complexit...
