Abstract

Agile methodologies rely completely on effective and continuous communication between clients and development teams, however, failing to sustain such communication will result in project failure or overdue. Current available communication methods and tools are either costly, not effective or not designed for Agile software development process (SDP). This paper introduces EasyComm communication management framework that aims at solving client communication problem in agile development projects. The framework uses famous social network websites looks and feel in-order to include users that would normally get excluded from the software development phases due to their technical knowledge. EasyComm provides a centralized opencommunication hub that allows both developers and clients to communicate regardless of their geographical locations or technical level. Several interviews with Agile development experts were conducted to validate the effectiveness of EasyComm. All interviewees liked EasyComm and would consider using it in their upcoming projects. Validation results showed that the effect of miscommunication is greater in the requirement elicitation (RE) phase, less effect during the development phase, and medium effect in the testing or release phase. Results also showed that face-to-face meetings and instant messaging applications (IM) were ranked as the best and worse communication methods, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Most of standard procedures for the Software Development Process focus on the technical dimension; however, they are still deficient in performing with the project strategies. Therefore we develop a model consisting of the well-known standard procedure; ISO/IEC12207, and the Balanced Scorecard to fulfill missing dimensions for software projects. We bring the Agile Software Development Processes mapped with the ISO/IEC12207 to create the action plan in the Balanced Scorecard. The result of this research is a Scorecard composed of objectives, measures and processes results that are effectiveness evaluation procedure for facilitating the project manager in order to make a decision to align with project strategies.

Abstract

The Scrum, an agile development process allows quickly production of working piece of product by undergoing the development into small release cycles and in improvement ways. There is a growing demand to expose students to such practices. In the same time, students also need to practice the possible roles that they will get when they join a real life project or an industry. Exercising the Scrum practices may help the students to learn and practice the possible roles to perform during a project. During a cycle, of scrum called 'sprint retrospective', the team dedicated time to reflect how they are doing and to find ways to improve. The scrum team will be constantly looking for improving opportunities either for the product builds or the practices they choose. In this paper, we discuss our experiences in practicing the Scrum practices in students' development of final year projects. This study may be useful for students in the final year.

Abstract

In this paper, the Agile method called eXtreme Programming (XP) is analyzed from the perspective of the creativity, in particular the creative performance and structure required at the teamwork level. The conclusion is that XP has characteristics that ensure the creative performance of the team members, but we believe that it can be fostered from a creativity perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the state of practice of integrating risk management with software development in 37 software organizations. We do this by using a set of evaluation criteria covering various process integration aspects. Our results recognize that process integration in this domain is still in its infancy. There is a great need for process integration and process integration models within the industry studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

An introduction to agile principals through agile manifesto has been shown. To prove the functionality of agile methods, qualitative (or quantitative) comparisons have been carried out with the other regular methods. It's always a complicated task for a project analyst to analyze the development of a software project; especially when it comes to evaluation of the development methodology and estimation of the project's success considering every related aspect. The goal of this paper is to simplify this task for the analyst and clarify the important aspects of a project which develop with agile methodologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In recent years, agile methods have become more popular in the software industry. Agile methods are a new approach compared to plan-driven approaches. One of the most important shifts in adopting an agile approach is the central focus given to people in the process. This is exemplified by the independence afforded to developers in the development work they do. This paper investigates the opinions of practitioners about daily stand-up meetings in the agile methods and the role of developer in that. For our investigation we joined a yahoo group called "Extreme Programming". Our investigation suggests that although trust is an important factor in agile methods. But stand-ups are not the place to build trust. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Do you want to learn how to create a healthy and sustainable software development environment? Do you want to adapt quickly to changes? Do you want to create good working relationships with your customer? Do you want to allow your customers to add requirements during the development process? Agile software teams do all of this and more. Agile Software Development is a new approach to software development that has become increasingly popular over the last decade. Agile software values individuals and interactions over processes and tools; working software over comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration over contract negotiation; and responding to change over following a plan [Manifesto for Agile Software Development, http://agilemanifesto.org/]. Agile software approaches have been widely adopted by start-up companies and by large, innovative firms such as Google. This tutorial will focus on providing participants with hands-on experiences that illustrate key agile principles such as: • Working on the highest priority items, as specified by the customer, at all times • Continuously delivering software throughout the engagement • Focusing on adapting to change instead of following a plan • Permitting the customer to change, add, or delete requirements throughout the software development process • Periodic self-reflection and self-improvement • Valuing working software above else • Emphasizing a sustainable development environment • Developing a strong bond with users [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
