Improvement opportunity in Agile Methodology and a survey on the adoption rate of the Improved Methodology

Abstract

Agile method promotes an iterative process on software development. It is a lightweight process that employs short iterative cycles, actively involve users and developers to establish, prioritize, and verify requirements and rely on a team’s tacit knowledge as opposed to documentation. In this paper we describe the existing agile methodologies and improve its different parameters so that software development industries can adopt it more easily. It describes the improvement of overall understanding of the constituent parts of agile systems development methodologies and some improvement of different parameters. In our proposed method we design a Tool of adoption matrix which will help software development industries for adoption decision solution of the Improved Agile Methodology. We have described the result of different software workshop where the adoption assessment will be used to assess the existing agile system and the improved agile system. The result from this tool will help software industries to apply the improved agile methodologies.

Keywords: Agile Methodology, Adoption decision, Adoption assess tool, Improvement of Agile.
