Agile Methodologies: Comparative Study and Future Direction

2019

There are quite a few up-to-date and every so habitually used Agile style but among those Scrum, Kanban and XP (Extreme Programming) are generally the most mutual. On instance, organizations use typically tools and techniques from any but rather a lot they use roughly of the amalgamations of those approaches. Devouring in cognizance that those approaches are just a framework they allow firms to adapt it for their particular tasks as well as for other limits. Scrum, Kanban, and XP frameworks manage and deal with the advancement of Software Development. These frameworks are utilized in various circumstances and work processes. Subsequently, they are compelling for various Agile collaborators and tasks in different circumstances. However, the utilization of a wrong approach or practice prompts Software System Development procedures that are unbendable and inefficient, affecting the association and instigating wasteful advancement. Incorporators of Scrum, Kanban, XP trust that the erroneous performs of these frameworks remain hazardous and in this manner, Agile workmates ought to be aided in their basic leadership. The idea of this paper is to decide the fundamental variables to ruminate amid the determination of Scrum, XP and Kanban frameworks. The recognizable proof of elements was directed over a top to bottom audit of the essential task, subsequently, the documents scrutiny was utilized in the investigation concerning information. By way of found, system recommendation, people, and tasks, adoption phase, team capacity, group stature, prioritizing of requirements, functionality scope, prime interval, operational observes, budget, and eminence were the primary aspects that lead Agile coworkers in preference Scrum, XP or Kanban and in accumulation their practices. This paper portrays a strategy to perform inspections on Agile approaches, in view of an arrangement of important highlights and characteristics.

Agile methods are increasingly gaining momentum, and more and more growing as the market standard for software development. However agile methods suffer from the lack of disciplined planning. We will try in this paper to see the effect of introducing disciplined project management methodology on the flexibility and agility with which agile methods are characterized. We will also see the effect of using a modified XP, the most well-known and oldest method of the agile spectrum, along with PRINCE2 one of the successful management methods. In doing so, we will resort to the findings of a real life project, where a team of eleven developers was able to deliver high quality software within budget and under strict time constraints. The result was a new method derived from both XP and PRINCE2. We call this method eXPeReINCE as it takes its principles from the two methodologies.

Most of the organizations move towards agile processes, in order to take advantage from them, to produce quality software and higher customer satisfaction. SCRUM and Xtreme Programming (XP) are most popular agile methodologies. Both have their own merits and demerits. Therefore, a comparative analysis is conducted on the basis of survey held in Islamabad, Pakistan. The survey results express high adaptation of SCRUM in present days in Pakistan as compared to XP.

Many organizations are improving both the efficiency and effectiveness of their software development efforts by implementing an agile software development methodology. Agile methodologies including eXtreme programming (XP), Scrum, and Crystal Methods. This article is intended to point out the decisions and actions taken by organizations that have successfully implemented an agile software development methodology. Organizations that want to improve their chances of success should: select the right methodology for their organization, train their staff on the selected methodology while providing them access to external resources, involve upper management in the methodology implementation, and make any necessary changes to their office facilities to support the intense interaction required by agile development. Keywords: Agile Software Development, Effectiveness of software development, Efficiency of software development, Agile Methodologies, eXtreme programming (XP), Scrum, and Crystal Methods. Introduction

SCIENTIFIC PRACTICE: MODERN AND CLASSICAL RESEARCH METHODS

2019

The agile software development methods are studied in this paper. Agile software development methodology was formally represented to the community of software engineering through twelve principles and four core values. Agility is considered the cornerstone of the agile software development. This contrasts with the plandriven technique that is explained in different conventional models (e.g. Waterfall). Currently, the agile development is an important development approach, which is derived from practical uses to encourage the cooperation between users and developers so that fast development processes could be supported, and to adapt with the modifications that are affecting the dynamic environment. Many agile methods are currently available in the literature with Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) methods forming two most commonly used methods. This study demonstrates the value of applying the agile methods in developing software projects by analysing the current agile methods. The s...

Scrum does not provide any direction about how to engineer a software product. The project team has to adopt suitable agile process model for the engineering of software. XP process model is mainly focused on engineering practices rather than management practices. The design of XP process makes it suitable for simple and small size projects and not appropriate for medium and large projects. A fine integration of management and engineering practices is desperately required to build quality product to make it valuable for customers. In this research a novel framework hybrid model is proposed to achieve this integration. The proposed hybrid model is actually an express version of Scrum model. It possesses features of engineering practices that are necessary to develop quality software as per customer requirements and company objectives. A case study is conducted to validate the proposal of hybrid model. The results of the case study reveal that proposed model is an improved version of XP and Scrum model.

Abstract: Today‘s business, political and economic environment is very much dynamic, and customers are adapting their software requirements to adjust with these new environment. In particular software needs to cater to the change in business environment due to the current economic down trend situation. Agile methodology satisfies the customer through early and continuous delivery of software. This research paper helps in understanding various agile methods; comparison among agile methods: XP, Scrum, FDD, DSDM, ASD and to find out relationship among them to help future developers to get new ideas, methods to develop software and also help to choose the right methodology. This study in general aims to contribute to the agile body of knowledge. Keywords: Agile, XP, Scrum, ASD, FDD and DSDM.

Software development methodologies offer a methodical way to working on projects in accordance with client expectations. In the software development process, the customer is seen as the main entity. In order to build valuable software quickly and within a given budget, firms are now seeking to implement customer-centric techniques. Customer satisfaction plays a crucial part in the development and deployment of software products. One software development process that helps to best fulfil changing customer requirements is agile software development. In the following part, a table of comparisons between the various agile modelling methodologies with regard to requirements and the role of the customer follows a discussion of agile methodology. The Scrum & Extreme Programming framework is presented, along with how different firms use the approach for projects of various sizes.
