Optimal Resource Allocation for Software Development under Agile Framework.

Software development techniques have always been in-focus while creating high-quality software. Off late, most software firms have adopted the latest approach of the market- “Agile Software Development” to create a superior product. Agile software development allows an incremental and iterative development of the product with close interaction of all the teams on deck. This allows for the efficient utilization of the available resources to satisfy the demands of the end consumer. In the current proposal, a mathematical model has been created which allows optimal allocation of the limited developmental resources among the various sprint cycles and modules. Optimization tools have been used to determine this optimal distribution of resources. The proposed model has been validated on the resource allocation data with promising results.
