“…Agile method tailoring, which involves selecting methods or practices depending on local context [9], has become well documented [18]. There is a trend away from wholesale adoption of XP practices [15], towards adoption of scrum [3], while smaller companies tend to cherry-pick' selected Scrum and XP practices from the full constellation of practices available [14].…”

Abstract. This paper provides empirical evidence of agile method adoption in smaller companies in Ethiopia. Agile methods are emerging as best practice for software development in the global north. So, is there evidence that agile methods are being used in Ethiopia? A Grounded Theory approach was adopted using face-to-face interviews with 17 software professionals from 7 software companies, which were selected by using a snowball sampling technique. The interviews were semi-structured and open-ended and have been audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed. It was discovered that agile principles, values and practices are important to study participants. Agile practices are used to encourage user participation and clarify requirements. However, it was found that many projects are for government clients that mandate extensive requirements and design documentation which must be approved prior to delivery of working software that complies with predefined delivery schedules.

Agile software design and development methodologies have been gaining rigorous attention in the software engineering research community since their early introduction in the mid-nineties in addition to being highly adopted by the software development industry. In the last 15 years, an excessive number of research studies have been conducted on agile methods, a great number of notable methods have been proposed and various surveys have been presented by many researchers. In this study, the authors intend to conduct a literature survey study of the surveys of the different agile methodologies ranging from January 2000 to December 2015 using an intuitive research methodology called "Compare and Review" (CR). Furthermore, these survey papers were classified into four major categories according to their area of study. Additionally, the newly proposed agile methodologies that have not been addressed yet in any other literature review were reviewed and compared in terms of where the changes that they proposed lay on the SDLC.

“…A multi-method approach was considered for this study in order to address the subject from different angles. A literature review was conducted in order to understand the theoretical aspects of Agile Software Development:  Books from authors that are considered thought leaders in the field were selected;  Scientific papers that consist in systematic literature reviews on agile topics were consulted [7], [8], [9];  Study cases, surveys and market studies provided by main vendors of agile tools were analyzed. In order to exchange experience with other practitioners involvement in the groups of interest formed on Meetup.com was considered.…”

IntroductionAgile Software Development (ASD) methodology is defined by four values and twelve principles that sum up the essence of a variety of methods and practices. A certain attitude towards building software is promoted that puts individuals and interactions before processes and tools. Agile is a new way to see the software development process by taking in account human characteristics. In order to produce working software people need to collaborate towards common goals and find solutions that would maximize the value created. Spending too much time to develop comprehensive documentation is considered waste. Collaboration between the development team and business is important and favoured to contract negotiation. This means optimizing any process in order to create a system that is based on transparency, inspection and adaptation that leads to reduced bureaucracy. Flexibility and responsiveness to change is preferred over following a plan.
