Software development process models focus on ordering and combination of phases to develop the intended software product within time and cost estimates. However, commonness of software vulnerabilities in the fielded systems show that there is a need for more stringent software development process that focuses on improved security demands. Meanwhile, there are some reports that demonstrate the efficiency...
This paper reports the experience of applying agile methods in the defense sector, characterized mostly by embedded and mission critical software. We describe the experience of creating a Command and Control system for the 4th Logistic Department of the Italian Army's General Staff. The project was approved by the Army as a pilot to determine whether it could be possible to reduce development costs...
While agile has become a go-to methodology for software engineers engaged in software development, little research has explored the specific language choices used by these engineers in their agile-oriented processes. This study examines the language used by a Scrum team during the meetings of a 5-week sprint. Specifically, this study explores how certainty is presented by the group members through...
In this paper, we present how student teams appliedScrum in their capstone projects and compare how the Scrum usage differed between the high and low performing teams. 16 student teams of 7–9 persons were taught Scrum during a lecture and a 4-hour Scrum simulation game, after which they applied Scrum in their capstone projects developed for external industrial customers during a six month period....
Software now rules the world and its development is integral to all the IT companies. Software development is very complex process and requires multidimensional growth. Having a single model like waterfall or prototype for development is not enough for the product requirements and thus agile development is most useful for customized product development. With adaptive nature and early delivery and...
Various studies have been carried out to determine the impact of Scrum in students' projects. Many of these studies assign the role of the Scrum master to a lecturer or a mentor. This may have unintended consequences on the students' team, including making them feeling micro-managed and also not allowing the agile team self-organization which is a key requirement in Scrum. Furthermore, students may...
Agile methods are now a mainstream production process and its proponents are no longer considered hackers or cowboy coders. Still, in embedded and safety critical domains there is somehow the expectation that the approach be “more” plan-based; at least, many of the current normatives seem to lean toward such approach. A definite change in attitude has emerged with the latest DoD standards in the United...
Agile methods are best taught in a hands-on fashion in realistic projects. The main challenge in doing so is to assess whether students apply the methods correctly without requiring complete supervision throughout the entire project. This paper presents experiences from a classroom project where 38 students developed a single system using a scaled version of Scrum. Surveys helped us to identify which...
This paper emphasizes on software effort estimation and knowledge management of practicing Scrum methodology that are challenging tasks in agile context. Proposed approach improves software effort estimation and knowledge management of software projects by focusing on Scrum process and practices using ontology model in a multiagent estimation system. It also motivates project key stakeholders to regularly...
Currently, tech Startups are most interested in group of a new businessman also they turn to do a lot of Startup which is business to focus on software-based. From the survey found that both successful and failed. One of reason came from working within does not have regulatory system, including any appropriate plan, unclearly goals and problems with colleagues. Therefore, this thesis proposes Scrum...
During the recent years, small software companies have shown interests to use software development standards to improving their processes and competitiveness. Yet, this can be inconvenient for companies who have no experience in standard or Software Process Improvement (SPI). ISO/IEC29110 is a lightweight software development standard including Project management and Software implementation process...
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a concept for delivering software applications, the service runs on cloud and provides benefits to small and medium enterprise (SMEs), offering the advantage of 7 day 24 hour access ability and is truly ubiquitous. This case study examines the implementation of combining Scrum and Waterfall approaches to develop a set of Tailor-made Software as a Service to assist SMEs...
Software development processes have known important evolutions such as the appearance of the agile methods. They become now the centre of interest of all development teams. Furthermore, BPM is an approach for modelling and automating business processes, favouring their continuous improvement. This paper proposes a new approach for conducting agile software development projects, based on BPM in order...
This paper discusses research and development (R&D) capabilities under a software development setting following the scrum framework. Although the scrum framework provides routines to address technical needs, it lacks routines for proactive behavioral management. A conceptual model was developed to include behavioral routines in the scrum framework. The model links predictability of new or improved...
The need for software development methods that have faster and flexible development process has emerged nowadays. Agile software development method is a method that promises shorter time-to-market and higher flexibility to accommodate changes of requirements. One framework that relies on agile software development method is Scrum. It has iterative, focus on teamwork, and collaboration development...
Agile methodologies such as scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) are efficient development processes by accepting changes at any phase and delivering software quickly to customers. However, these methodologies have been criticized because of the unavailability of security as an important quality goal of software systems. Although, there are pre-existing research results on this topic, there is no established...
Nowadays, considerable attention is paid to agile methods as a means to improve management of software development processes. The widespread use of such methods in professional contexts has encouraged their integration into software engineering training and undergraduate courses. Although several research efforts have focused on teaching Scrum through simulating a software development project, they...
In Brazil there are several small software companies with only one developer (solo developer). In a survey conducted by Secretaria de Política de Informática of Ministério de Ciência e Tecnologia has been indicated that about 60% of market consolidated software companies started their activities with a single developer. The majority of these developers does not formally make use of a software process...
Planning Poker is a consensus-based technique mostly used for estimating effort or relative size of software development goals. This is applicable to estimate the size ofuser stories, developing releases and iteration plans. It is used generally with Scrum. Planning Poker has a lot of benefits, however, this method is not entirely efficient because the result is always based on the observation of...
Agile methodologies are focused on the people and functional product delivery in short periods of time. There are methodologies that change considerably the work habits of software developers. Scrum is an agile methodology that involves an iterative, incremental, and empiric process. Besides it is designed to add value, focus, clarity and transparency to the activities and products of a project. Nowadays,...
