PROJECT TITLE :

Agile Compass: A Tool for Identifying Maturity in Agile Software-Development Teams

ABSTRACT:

Researchers investigated how agile software development groups evolve. They analyzed 9 groups' evolution of practices and located that the process was idiosyncratic. Each team adopted practices on the premise of its circumstances and improved the practices on the idea of the challenges it faced. Using this research, the researchers designed the Agile Compass, a questionnaire based mostly on a set of pointers for agile-development improvement, supported by real teams' values and principles. The article has 3 Web extras. The first shows the Agile Compass questionnaire (https://s3.amazonaws.com/ieeecs.cdn.csdl.public/magazines/thus/2015/06/extras/mso201506_AnAgile_s1.pdf), which can facilitate development groups identify that outcomes they have accomplished. The second describes the Agile Compass research approach (https://s3.amazonaws.com/ieeecs.cdn.csdl.public/mags/thus/2015/06/extras/mso201506_AnAgile_s2.png). The third is that the Map of Proof (https://s3.amazonaws.com/ieeecs.cdn.csdl.public/magazines/so/2015/06/extras/mso201506_AnAgile_s3.png), showing the knowledge supporting every kind of project outcome that the authors gathered during interviews with development groups.
