Rinky Dwivedi . Configuration Issues and Efforts for Configuring Agile Approaches-Situational based Method Engineering. International Journal of Computer Applications. 61, 17 ( January 2013), 23-27. DOI=10.5120/10021-4941
Abstract
In software development process, the requirements are not stable and keep on changing according to the customers. In such dynamic situations the developers are required to use dynamic approaches for software development. The agile methodology provides dynamic methods such as extreme programming, scrum, feature driven approach and dynamic system development method. Studies reveals agile methods are not anti-methods and can be tailored as any other traditional methods. This paper investigates tailoring of various agile methods, approaches required to tailor the method components of agile methods. Further, this paper proposes the configuration issues and configuration efforts which must be kept in mind during tailoring of the agile components.
