Choice of Agile Methodologies in Software Development: A Vendor Perspective

Agile methodology

AGILE METHODOLOGY

Introduction
Agile methodology is defined as a
technique for the development of the
software in which the solution and
requirement include with the help of a
collaborative effort of self-organizing.
Mainly, such kind of model is centered on
the adaptive planning, short delivery times
and self-organization and it is very flexible
and fast as compared to the other
methodologies. In this report, a journal
article will be analysed and title of this
paper is "choice of agile methodologies in
software development: a vendor
perspective" [1]. The aim of this paper is
to discuss the concept of agile
methodology and develop understanding
about how companies use the agile
methodology for the development of
software project. This report is divided
into the main three parts such as intention
and content of the paper, research methods
and problems highlighted by the
researcher.
The intention and content of the article
The paper was written by sriram
rajagopalan and saji K Mathew in the year
2016 which is completely based on the
agile methodology. In this journal article
researcher developed and implemented the
main two analytical outlines from the
literature review and results were
compared with the real world decision.
According to the researcher, the software
development technique is defined as a
process which can be used to design,
perform, plan and switch the procedures
for implementing an info system. Agile
methodology is one of the best processes
that have potential to increase the
performance of the software development
technique and it is very fast in speed and
more reliable rather than other [2]. In the
last two years the use of agile
methodology has increasing rapidly that
affected the significant increment in the
software quality. Researcher evaluated that
the development step was divided by
generation of schemes of ciphers and
useful sub-specification [12]. The author
provided the characteristics of the agile
methodology which involves the decision
making process, higher autonomy, and
adaptive understanding. It is analysed from
the literature review that the all agile
techniques are focused on the business and
company’s issues and provided a solution
in the less time by which companies and
business industries can easily enhance
their performance [3].
Few of agile methodologies are focused
more on the practises and other on the
management aspects. With the help of the

main 4 dimensional outline of the scope,
agile values and techniques the researcher
analysed and evaluated six main agile
methodologies [4].
According to the investigator the consumer
effectiveness in the agile methodology
which is completely based on the 3
practices, for example, actual consumer
participation which degree of straight
participation of all investors, entire group
and energised work [11]. The researcher
also identified the key factors which can
server to lead in the assortment of agile
methods for schemes in the companies
with particular physiognomies [5].
Moreover, the researcher also summarised
the main six key dimensions of the agile
methodologies with their importance in the
organization. These dimensions cover a
short delivery cycle, team capability, team
environment, project management
technique, and consumer involvement and
communication management [9]. The
author also suggested the project shape,
criticality, security related problems as
important features in choosing project
suitable for agile techniques [10]. The
survey of the literature review indicated
that these techniques have been analysed
and considered in relative to scheme
administration and their characteristics.
Although there are few studies and
investigations have been conducted in the
field of agile methodology and they
analysed that the agile methodology has
the capability to increase the efficiency of
the software development approach and
enhance the performance of the business
[6]. This journal paper reduced the
drawbacks and research gap in the
previous investigation and provides an in-
depth analysis about agile approach and
investigator developed an analytical
outline from the extant literature.
Research methodologies
The main aim of the journal paper is to
improve understanding of choices
completed regarding the choice of specific
agile technique. To achieve this goal the
researcher used various kinds of research
methods and case studies which will be
described in this section. It is observed that
an effective research methodology can
help the researcher in improving the
effectiveness of the research [7]. In this
research paper, author used the multi case
study method that provides the theoretical
information about the research topic.
Data sources and sampling
In this paper, the researcher selected the
multi-site case study and selected main
three companies for gathering data for the
investigation. The sampling process is
