In this paper we present the results of an opinion survey among 52 agile practitioners who evaluated the importance of 26 selected elements of the agile mindset to the effectiveness of an agile team. In total, we have identified 70 unique agile mindset elements based on 11 literature sources and 5 interviews with industry experts. 7 elements belonged to the "support for business goals" category, 20 to the "relationships within the team" category, 24 to the "individual features" category, and 19 to the "organization of work" category. Our survey shows the relative importance of the selected 26 agile mindset elements according to our respondents which is not fully consistent with the principles behind the Agile Manifesto.
Abstract-This paper concerns how an affective-behaviouralcognitive approach applies to the evaluation of the software user experience. Although it may seem that affect recognition solutions are accurate in determining the user experience, there are several challenges in practice. This paper aims to explore the limitations of the automatic affect recognition applied in the usability context as well as to propose a set of criteria to select input channels for affect recognition. The results are revealed via a semi-experiment based on the case study of an educational game. As a result, a number of concerns were identified, providing a list of pros and cons for affective computing methods applied in the usability testing context. The lessons learned might be interesting for both researchers that develop emotion recognition algorithms and for practitioners, who apply them to diverse areas.
