Abstract:

Neue Technologien kommen mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit auf den Markt, während Kundenanforderungen unbeständiger und weniger vorhersehbar werden. Diese VUCA-Bedingungen erfordern eine zunehmende Reaktions- und Anpas- sungsfähigkeit von Entwicklern und Prozessen. Das in diesem Beitrag präsentierte „Procedure Model for Agile Further Development“ (PM4AFD) ist hierfür ein agiler Ansatz zur Weiterentwicklung von Produkten mithilfe von Minimum Viable Product Increments (MVPIs).   New technologies are evolving rapidly, while customer requirements are becoming more volatile and less predictable. These VUCA conditions require developers and development processes to be increasingly responsive and adaptive. The Procedure Model for Agile Further Development (PM4AFD) is an agile approach for further developing products using Minimum Viable Product Increments (MVPIs).

Abstract:

Research question (RV): What is the contribution of an organization that follows the EFQM model and reorganizes its organization into an agile organization? Purpose: The purpose of the research is to examine the interrelationship between the EFQM model, agility and agile organization, and consequently faster adaptability, greater performance and competitiveness of the agile organization. Method: The article was based on a review of foreign and domestic literature. We reviewed the professional literature on agility and the EFQM model. We searched a link between agility and the EFQM model. Results: We will find that there are differences between agile management and organizational culture in organizations that are agile aware from those that are not. It is essential for successful agile organization leaders to develop effective communication and interaction skills that are unique to the leader and organization. It is important that individuals in the organization adopt a shared vision, participate in a culture of trust and inclusion, while leaders encourage creativity and experimentation. Organization: An agile organization is considered to be fast (innovative, agile, adaptable) and that it is necessary to constantly renew its business. The research will draw attention to the importance and necessity of management awareness that by creating a certain organizational culture and agile management of the organization, they will achieve faster and more efficient adaptation to changes in the environment. Society: The lack of agile management and the creation of an inappropriate organizational culture has a negative impact on the satisfaction of all involved in the process (employees, customers, suppliers) and consequently on adapting to the needs of the environment. Originality: The originality of the article lies in breaking down the myths about the concept of agility and agile organization, and presenting or evaluating the obtained results with the result of differences between agile and not agile or traditional organizations. Limitations / further research: The limitation represents a small number of articles and literature selected for comparison. Based on a larger sample of articles, we would get more relevant results. We also found a few articles in Slovenian.

Abstract:

Organizations are increasingly adopting Agile frameworks for their internal software development. Cost reduction, rapid deployment, requirements and mental model alignment are typical reasons for an Agile transformation. This article presents an in-depth field study of a large-scale Agile transformation in a mission-critical environment, where stakeholders’ commitment was a critical success factor. The goal of such a transformation was to implement mission-oriented features, reducing costs and time to operate in critical scenarios. The project lasted several years and involved over 40 professionals. We report how a hierarchical and plan-driven organization exploited Agile methods to develop a Command & Control (C2) system. Accordingly, we first abstract our experience, inducing a success model of general use for other comparable organizations by performing a post-mortem study. The goal of the inductive research process was to identify critical success factors and their relations. Finally, we validated and generalized our model through Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modelling, surveying 200 software engineers involved in similar projects. We conclude the article with data-driven recommendations concerning the management of Agile projects.

Abstract:

Background/Aim/Purpose: A commonly implemented software process improvement framework is the capability maturity model integrated (CMMI). Existing literature indicates higher levels of CMMI maturity could result in a loss of agility due to its organizational focus. To maintain agility, research has focussed attention on agile maturity models. The objective of this paper is to find the common research themes and conclusions in agile maturity model research. Methodology: This research adopts a systematic approach to agile maturity model research, using Google Scholar, Science Direct, and IEEE Xplore as sources. In total 531 articles were initially found matching the search criteria, which was filtered to 39 articles by applying specific exclusion criteria. Contribution:: The article highlights the trends in agile maturity model research, specifically bringing to light the lack of research providing validation of such models. Findings: Two major themes emerge, being the coexistence of agile and CMMI and the development of agile principle based maturity models. The research trend indicates an increase in agile maturity model articles, particularly in the latter half of the last decade, with concentrations of research coinciding with version updates of CMMI. While there is general consensus around higher CMMI maturity levels being incompatible with true agility, there is evidence of the two coexisting when agile is introduced into already highly matured environments. Future Research: Future research direction for this topic should include how to attain higher levels of CMMI maturity using only agile methods, how governance is addressed in agile environments, and whether existing agile maturity models relate to improved project success.

Abstract:

This paper compares established Systems Dynamics (SD) models of software projects with models of agile development. A new minimal SIMULINK™ agile project model was created and compared to a Waterfall model of a NASA project. Results are presented to enable project managers to predict the performance of future agile project processes. The model includes the time to generate the requirements and a function to provide requirements volatility. These models show that for the same productivity and fraction of errors that are satisfactory, the overall development staff costs are similar for agile and waterfall projects and the undiscovered rework is less for the agile project. This model generally supports empirical observations that shorter time-box iterations yield a shorter overall project completion.

Abstract:

Agile software development work on twelve principle for software development which implies requirements and solutions evolved through the combined teamwork of disciplined and interdisciplinary teams. The objective of this paper is to connect agile methodology with Version Control System for more efficient and effective utilization of resources. In this proposed model based on agile methodology, the Version Control System plays a vital role to make work done faster as compared to SCRUM. This paper compares various existing agile methodologies. The efficiency of the proposed model is proved through comparative analysis with existing agile methods and using ANOVA mathematical model. Bitbucket as Version Control System is used as web based hosting service and the proposed model is compared by maintaining similar sprints in SCRUM and VSprint model. VCS and previous SRS documents are the important components of this proposed model which helps in increasing the work speed at different phases of software development which the existing models does not consider.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper shows how model predictive control (MPC) can be used to perform agile manoeuvres in a pendulum-on-a-cart system, which is an abstraction of many mechanical systems commonly used in the industry, such as cranes. Specifically, the problem of moving a cart on which a pendulum is mounted using a free joint is rapidly moved from one position to another one while mitigating the swings of the pendulum. To achieve this goal, an optimization-based MPC strategy is employed that selects the control moves while minimizing the chosen cost function and, simultaneously, enforcing constraint satisfaction. As the controlled system is nonlinear, two options are considered. The first one solves the nonlinear MPC problem in an approximate fashion using the so-called random shooting approach. The second method is based on the first one approximating the nonlinear system by a linear one, followed by applying convex MPC techniques. The performance of both strategies was compared by means of real-time experiments.

Abstract:

The agile approach grew dramatically over traditional approaches. The methodology focuses more on rapid development, quick evaluation, quantifiable progress and continuous delivery satisfying the customer desire. In view of this, there is a need for measurement of the agile development process. In this respect, the present research work investigates the inter-relationships and inter-dependencies between the identified quality factors (QF), thereby outlining which of these QF have high driving power and dependence power, working indirectly towards the success of agile development process. This paper proposes a new agile quality model, utilizing an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) approach and the identified factors are classifies using Matriced' Impacts Croise's Multiplication Applique´e a UN Classement (MICMAC) approach. The research findings can significantly impact agile development process by understanding how these QF related to each other and how they can be adopted.

Abstract:

Agile methodologies have gained wide acceptance for developing high-quality products with a quick and flexible approach. However, until now, the quality of the agile process has not been validated quantitatively. Quality being important for the software system, there is a need for measurement. Estimating different quality factors will lead to a quality product. Also, agile software development does not provide any precise models to evaluate maintainability. Therefore, there is a need for an algorithmic approach that can serve as the basis for estimation of maintainability. The article proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model for estimating agile maintainability. Maintainability is one of the prominent quality factors in the case of agile development. The proposed model has been verified and found to be effective for assessing the maintainability of agile software.

Full text

Abstract:

“Agile” is an effective software engineering model with a high trust and acceptance rate among its users. The term agility comes from the concept of rapid development and working in a team for better results and a faster competition rate when compared with any other software engineering model. In this study, an assessment of the different patterns, frameworks, and application program interfaces available for distributed development in an agile model is given. After analyzing the state-of-the-art distributed models, a novel framework of a dynamic agile distributed development method (DADDM) is introduced in this paper. Many researchers have worked on global software development using the agile approach; however, we are presenting the idea of incorporating the agile benefits with dynamic distributed software development. The applicability of the proposed model is checked via two selected parameters: a feasibility study and a business study. The complete DADDM development life cycle is presented in the methodology section. The techniques used in DADDM and team members’ roles and responsibilities in DADDM are defined in this study. This study reflects all pillars of planning, controlling, organizing, and management of leadership. The use of DADDM in distributed agile development encourages future researchers to use this proposed framework for comparison and testing of their models and to check the effectiveness through a comparison with DADDM.

Full text

Abstract:

It is known that quantitative measures for the reliability of software systems can be derived from software reliability models, and, as such, support the product development process. Over the past four decades, research activities in this area have been performed. As a result, many software reliability models have been proposed. It was shown that, once these models reach a certain level of convergence, it can enable the developer to release the software and stop software testing accordingly. Criteria to determine the optimal testing time include the number of remaining errors, failure rate, reliability requirements, or total system cost. In this paper, we present our results in predicting the reliability of software for agile testing environments. We seek to model this way of working by extending the Jelinski–Moranda model to a “stack” of feature-specific models, assuming that the bugs are labeled with the features they belong to. In order to demonstrate the extended model, two use cases are presented. The questions to be answered in these two cases are: how many software bugs remain in the software and should one decide to stop testing the software?

Abstract:

ADSD (Agile Distributed Software Development) is a growing trend for software development organizations to develop quality software with limited cost and time. However, it gives rise to additional situational challenges. Situational variations result in unstable agile architecture which gets highly affected. Although the present literature focuses on agile architecture but effect of situational variation on the agile architecture still needs consideration. One possible solution is development of conceptual model and incorporation of multiple situational factors. This research study aims to identify the most relevant situations and propose situational ADSD approach for the development of situation-based software architecture framework for agile distributed projects. The study focuses on agile methods, rendering identified situational variations. The approach is developed through analyzing data from literature and their associated work documents. Comprehensive survey helps to bridge the gaps from conceptual to architecture model. The experimental results are acquired through both practical and statistical analysis. The results support Conway’s law, e.g. correlation that maps architecture with the communication and coordination needs. Correlation results show that architecture has major contribution in ADSD and validate the relationship among conceptual model and architecture model. The results also suggest that stable architecture in ADSD can positively affect the product.

Abstract:

Agile-Stage-Gate is a hybrid product development model that integrates elements of both Agile and Stage-Gate to help companies realize the strengths of both. Recent studies show positive results in manufacturing companies, although SMEs are notably absent despite being the majority. This paper reports results of a test of the model in three deliberately chosen manufacturing SMEs. Results were improved: time to market, overall new product process, higher success rate. Agile required adaptations, and novel solutions were found by the test firms. The positive results suggest that Agile-Stage-Gate must be considered as a recommended product development approach in SME manufacturers.

Abstract:

Estimating software cost in an agile system in terms of effort is very challenging. This is because the traditional models of software cost estimation do not completely fit in the agile development process. This paper presents a methodology to enhance the cost of project estimation in agile development. The hybridization adopts Class Responsibility Collaborators models with function point thereby boosting the agile software development estimation process. The study found out that adopting the Hybridized Class Responsibility Collaborator with function point has great improvement on cost estimation in agile software development.

Abstract:

In light of digital transformation and a stronger application of artificial intelligence, many firms try to increase the agility of their innovation processes. In this regard, they particularly rely on design thinking or on the lean startup approach to reduce some of the deficits of established innovation processes, such as the stage-gate model. This conceptual article shows that merely focusing on design thinking and lean startup in isolation will not enable companies to fully leverage the benefits of agile innovation. Because of the complementarity of design thinking and lean startup, executives should simultaneously pursue these approaches in order to achieve results that are more than the sum of isolated design thinking or isolated lean startup initiatives. This complementarity derives from the specific benefits of design thinking in the front end of the innovation process combined with the particular benefits of lean startup in the back end.

Abstract:

The research is directed to formulate a bureaucratic mental revolution strategy by utilizing the concept of agile leadership. The research team formulated a bureaucratic mental revolution strategy by utilizing the concept of agile leadership through several stages. First, an analysis of the agile leadership model was carried out on the governance practices of Desa Majasarigovernment. Second, the analysis of agile government was conducted as a result of the emergence of agile leadership in the village. The results of the study explained that the existence of agile leadership is very important to encourage the emergence of agile government. That is, if the agile bureaucratic mentality is strongly supported by the existence of agile leadership. Seeing the paternalistic bureaucracy culture that the leader as the center of activity of the organization, bureaucracy mental revolution strategy has to start from a mental revolution from the leader. Leaders' mental revolution can be implemented when they are placed in a competitive agile leadership assessment system. Therefore, the research team offers and formulates a competitive model of agile leadership as a mental revolution strategy bureaucracy.

Abstract:

The agile model is a very vast and popular model in use in the software industry currently. It changes the way software is developed. It was introduced in 2001 to overcome deficiencies of software development in a workshop arranged by researchers and practitioners who were involved with the agile concept. They introduced the complete agile manifesto. The agile model has main components that make it more viable for use in well-organized software development. One of these is scrum methodology. The reason for the agile-scrum popularity is its use for small-scale projects, making small teams and allows change requests at any stage of a project from the client. It works for client satisfaction. Instead of so much popularity and distinctive features, agile-scrum also has some limitations when used for large scale projects development that makes it less efficient for development. This article discusses the agile-scrum methodology and its limitations when using for large-scale project organization.

Abstract:

There is little doubt that agile software development (ASD) methods have gained widespread acceptance in industry. Despite the attention these methods have received, there is little empirical affirmation of the benefits that accrue to those who use agile methodologies. Grounded in the conceptual foundations of innovation diffusion and agile philosophy of development, the authors' study validates a model to assess the perceived advantage of an iterative approach to software development. Consistent with their predictions, the results suggest that evolutionary development - the cornerstone of agile development – is perceived to be less complex and more compatible with the work habits of developers. Further, the findings support the hitherto unsubstantiated claim that iterative development yields benefits to software developers. However, process flexibility, yet another important characteristic of agile development, had no significant impact on complexity, compatibility, and relative advantage. The implications of the study for academics and practitioners, and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

AbstractThe frequent incremental release of software in agile development impacts the overall reliability of the product. In this paper, we propose a generic software reliability model for the agile process, taking permanent and transient faults into consideration. The proposed model is implemented using the NHPP (non-homogenous Poisson process) and the Musa model. The comparison of the two implementations yields an effective, empirical and reliable model for agile software development.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this study was to develop a 40-criteria agility assessment model and explore its practical feasibility in an industrial scenario. Design/methodology/approach – Agile manufacturing (AM) principles enable organizations to understand customer needs and incorporate the necessary changes in product- and processes-oriented approaches. In this research study, a 40-criteria agility assessment model was developed. The agility assessment model was subjected to investigation in an Indian relays manufacturing organization. Findings – The research study indicates that the organization is agile. Besides computing agility level, the gaps across agile criteria have been identified and actions for agility improvement were subjected to implementation in the case organization. Research limitations/implications – The 40-criteria agility assessment model was subjected to investigation in a single manufacturing organization. In future, more number of studies could be conducted. Practical implications – To acquire agile characteristics, modern organizations should assess the agility level at which they operate. In this context, the agility assessment model was developed. Originality/value – The agility assessment tool presented in this paper consists of 40 agile criteria, which are well supported by the research findings reported in literature. Hence, the developed 40-criteria agile model is original and novel.

Abstract:

Dynamic and unpredictable business environments in the information technology (IT) sector have led to a rapid growth of agile methodologies. Organizations claim that using agile methodologies can enhance the success of IT projects in such environments. However, fluctuating patterns of successful and failed agile IT projects recently raise a question about a path to successful IT projects using agile methodologies. The purpose of this research is to examine agile driven factors and relationships between them and IT project success. Data collected from a pilot survey of agile practitioners were used to confirm important agile driven factors: Agile Team Capability, IT Development Agility, and Agile Culture. The research also tested a structural model that examined indirect impacts of IT development agility and agile culture on project success via a mediation of agile team capability. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

Abstract:

Purpose Because too many firms are stuck on the treadmill of producing quarterly returns, often to be achieved through financial engineering, a new management mindset is needed set them to exploring new opportunities through innovation. Design/methodology/approach A new kind of management is emerging–called the Agile model– in which firms emphasize searching out opportunities, finding solutions through rapid experimentation, and achieving agility through decisiveness. Findings In organizations that have implemented the Agile model Agile, the distinction between exploration and exploitation tends to blur and even dissolve. Those involved in exploitation are also continuously looking for ways to improve performance. Those involved in exploration and development are continuously seeking ways to deliver value to customers sooner Practical implications Agile managements are learning to shift from scalable efficiency to scalable learning, where everyone is driven by the need to learn faster and accelerate performance improvement Originality/value This overview of how explains how all members of a organization–from the CEO to the front-line worker–will need to be involved in the implementation of the Agile model.

Abstract:

This paper has analyzed the entire testing task sets of the third-party software testing agencies. And for how to set these tasks to the process of projects’ research and development, proposed a new Software Process Model, which is an evolution of the helix structure. The model was based on the ideas of agile. It may become the first one that assigns the testing task sets to the whole process of software development in an independent third party perspective. The agile process model in this paper is major for the heavyweight projects’ research and development. Currently, this agile process model which is based on the independent third party has been adopted in practice projects, and achieved good results.

Abstract:

Software development is a hectic process that requires keen understanding and effective model such that the developed software inherits good quality, reliability, and achieves customer satisfaction towards achieving the goals effectively. The effective operation of the software is enabled by modifying the operating modules of the software through a model, like agile. In this paper, the catastrophic and distributed computing models are integrated into the software development step. The proposed model is termed as Distributed Cat model that is developed with the aim to handle the risk factors engaged in various developing stages of the agile model. The risk factors that affect the communication, planning, release, design, coding and testing modules of the agile modules are deeply learned and executed such that the risk factors are tackled by various modules present in the proposed Distributed Cat model. The effectiveness of the proposed model is analyzed based on the performance metrics, such as Index of Integration (IoI) and Usability Goals Achievement Metric (UGAM), for which five products including the hotel management system, Customer relationship Management system (CRM), Rainfall prediction system, Temperature monitoring system, and meta-search system, are employed and analyzed. The analysis is progressed using the parameters, like mean difference, variance, standard devaiation, correlation. The analysis proves that the proposed model offered a great deviation after applying the proposed model contributing a high degree of performance in software development.

Abstract:

This paper presents, as its main contribution, a Framework for Web Applications named Agile and Collaborative Model Driven Development (AC-MDD), seeking to reduce wastes on the modeling and documentation activities of web applications. The AC-MDD framework was elaborated based on related works that present Agile Model Driven Development processes (AMDD), but it deals with issues not yet considered by these researches. To adopt the AC-MDD framework, some visual elements from a novel Unified Modeling Language (UML) profile named Web-AML was designed, allowing to represent agile models of web applications. Besides that, in order to apply the proposed framework using these new models, a method was defined providing steps to transform agile models into web application source-codes. A case study was performed successfully in a real project that gives support to the population of a city located in the State of São Paulo (Brazil) to deal with the real flood problem they have been facing in recent years. This project was developed at the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of São Paulo to verify and validate the AC-MDD framework. Finally, a comparative analysis between the AC-MDD Framework and other AMDD processes was presented and highlighted the main aspects of the proposed framework.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper provides empirical insights and practical implications for the implementation process of agile leadership in multinational firms. Building on Häußler’s and Fischer’s Trafo-model our research shows that the dimensions “culture” and “leadership” have been important dimensions for the Advantest Europe GmbH in 2017 to boost the implementation of agile leadership. Concerning the dimension “culture” the most important insight was that agile leadership is more than agile methods such as Scrum or Kanban. Concerning the dimension “leadership” our results show for example that a lack of a common understanding of agile leadership and role conflicts of managers complicate the implementation of agile leadership. Our research has several implications for the practical implementation of agile leadership such as setting up a common understanding of agile leadership or developing clear mechanisms for delegation.

Abstract:

<p>Software industries are progressively adopting the agile development practices of customized models such as Extreme Programming (XP) or Scrum or Rational Unified Process (RUP). Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) are frequently used agile models, whereas Rational Unified Process (RUP) is one popular classic plan driven software development methodology. Both agile and plan driven models have their own merits & demerits such as XP has good engineering practices, team collaboration and on the other hand weak documentation, poor performance in medium & large scale projects. Scrum is based on project management practices. RUP model has some limitations such as impractical for small and fast paced projects, tendency to be over budgeted, condemn rapid changes in requirements. This research paper based on proposes hybrid framework eXSRUP by combining strengths of Scrum, XP and RUP by suppressing their limitations to produce high quality software.</p>

Abstract:

<span>Over the last decade, software development has faced two approaches to Agile and global software development (GSD). While Agile development is focused on the reduction of software development overhead by reducing the distance between individuals and face-to-face communications, in global software development, the use of human power in various sites is considered. Despite their inherent differences, the combination of these two approaches has received considerable attention from researchers and software professionals. Meanwhile, the lack of a model or tool capable of assessing teams' adaptation to Agile methods seems to be a research gap. The current research aims to solve this challenge by proposing a model in this regard. Considering the major related factors and weighting them, this model allows software teams to assess the rate of their adaptation and success in global software development.</span>

Abstract:

In unpredicted industrial environment, being able to adapt quickly and effectively to the changing is key in gaining a competitive advantage in the global market. Agile manufacturing evolves new ways of running factories to react quickly and effectively to changing markets, driven by customized requirement. Agility in manufacturing can be successfully achieved via integration of information system, people, technologies, and business processes. This article presents the conceptual model of agility in three dimensions named: driving factor, enabling technologies and evaluation of agility in manufacturing system. The conceptual model was developed based on a review of the literature. Then, the paper demonstrates the agility evaluation by developing a multi-grade assessment model. This model can be used by decision maker to evaluate their current degree of agility. Lastly, the paper examined the conceptual model of evaluation in the State Company for Vegetable Oils Industry in Iraq. The calculation show that the State Company for Vegetable Oils Industry is very agile.
