Comparative Study on Agile software development methodologies
Today-s business environment is very much dynamic, and organisations are
constantly changing their software requirements to adjust with new environment.
They also demand for fast delivery of software products as well as for
accepting changing requirements. In this aspect, traditional plan-driven
developments fail to meet up these requirements. Though traditional software
development methodologies, such as life cycle-based structured and object
oriented approaches, continue to dominate the systems development few decades
and much research has done in traditional methodologies, Agile software
development brings its own set of novel challenges that must be addressed to
satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of the valuable
software. It is a set of software development methods based on iterative and
incremental development process, where requirements and development evolve
through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams that
allows rapid delivery of high quality software to meet customer needs and also
accommodate changes in the requirements. In this paper, we significantly
identify and describe the major factors, that Agile development approach
improves software development process to meet the rapid changing business
environments. We also provide a brief comparison of agile development
methodologies with traditional systems development methodologies, and discuss
current state of adopting agile methodologies. We speculate that from the need
to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of the valuable
software, Agile software development is emerged as an alternative to
traditional plan-based software development methods. The purpose of this paper,
is to provide an in-depth understanding, the major benefits of agile
development approach to software development industry, as well as provide a
comparison study report of ASDM over TSDM.Comment: 25 pages, 25 images, 86 references used, with authors biographie
Identifying Agile Requirements Engineering Patterns in Industry
Agile Software Development (ASD) is gaining in popularity in todayÂŽs business world. Industry is adopting agile methodologies both to accelerate value delivery and to enhance the ability to deal with changing requirements. However, ASD has a great impact on how Requirements Engineering (RE) is carried out in agile environments. The integration of Human-Centered Design (HCD) plays an important role due to the focus on user and stakeholder involvement. To this end, we aim to introduce agile RE patterns as main objective of this paper. On the one hand, we will describe our pattern mining process based on empirical research in literature and industry. On the other hand, we will discuss our results and provide two examples of agile RE patterns. In sum, the pattern mining process identifies 41 agile RE patterns. The accumulated knowledge will be shared by means of a web application.Ministerio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2013-46928-C3-3-RMinisterio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2016-76956-C3-2-RMinisterio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2015-71938-RED
Social Media Marketing Integration: Agile Project Management
The implementation of digital and social media strategies to currently existing marketing strategies requires extensive knowledge and expertise. Project management techniques and practices can be utilized to implement this change and determine its success. Because of the constantly evolving nature of social media marketing, an agile project management approach should be utilized to enhance chances of success. Social media marketing requires a thorough understanding of the target market and their behaviors on social media to deliver appropriate content utilizing the right mediums of communication. The ability to evaluate the success of a project and make changes as needed to meet the goals of the marketing strategies makes agile project management a suitable technique for implementing social media marketing
Is agile project management applicable to construction?
This paper briefly summarises the evolution of Agile Project Management (APM) and differentiates it from lean and agile production and âleagileâ construction. The significant benefits being realized through employment of APM within the information systems industry are stated. The characteristics of APM are explored, including: philosophy, organizational attitudes and practices, planning, execution and control and learning. Finally, APM is subjectively assessed as to its potential contribution to the pre-design, design and construction phases.
In conclusion, it is assessed that APM offers considerable potential for application in predesign and design but that there are significant hurdles to its adoption in the actual construction phase. Should these be overcome, APM offers benefits well beyond any individual project
A MANAGED APPROACH OF INTERACTION BETWEEN AGILE SCRUM AND SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
In current age the agile software development is one of the most popular software development methodology but due the mismanagement and lack of efficient handling of agile scrum and software configuration management system our software industry is facing a high rate of failed product, keeping this as my motivation, I have designed a efficient checklist which will help the industry to organized the interaction between agile scrum process and software configuration management system in a efficient and managed way and definitely that will increase the successful project in the software industry. Index-term : Agile Scrums, Software development, Software configuration management system, Checklist, Successful project
Project Success in Agile Development Projects
The paper explains and clarifies the differences between Waterfall and Agile
development methodologies, establishes what criteria could be taken into
account to properly define project success within the scope of software
development projects, and finally tries to clarify if project success is the
reason why many organizations are moving to Agile methodologies from other ones
such as Waterfall. In the form of a literature review, it analyses several,
publications, investigations and case studies that point out the motives why
companies moved to Agile, as well as the results they observed afterward. It
also analyses overall statistics of project outcomes after companies evolved
from traditional methodologies such as Waterfall to Agile development
approaches
Boundary Objects and their Use in Agile Systems Engineering
Agile methods are increasingly introduced in automotive companies in the
attempt to become more efficient and flexible in the system development. The
adoption of agile practices influences communication between stakeholders, but
also makes companies rethink the management of artifacts and documentation like
requirements, safety compliance documents, and architecture models.
Practitioners aim to reduce irrelevant documentation, but face a lack of
guidance to determine what artifacts are needed and how they should be managed.
This paper presents artifacts, challenges, guidelines, and practices for the
continuous management of systems engineering artifacts in automotive based on a
theoretical and empirical understanding of the topic. In collaboration with 53
practitioners from six automotive companies, we conducted a design-science
study involving interviews, a questionnaire, focus groups, and practical data
analysis of a systems engineering tool. The guidelines suggest the distinction
between artifacts that are shared among different actors in a company (boundary
objects) and those that are used within a team (locally relevant artifacts). We
propose an analysis approach to identify boundary objects and three practices
to manage systems engineering artifacts in industry
