“…Pantiuchina et al distinguish between speed and quality practices, roughly matching our categorization of organizational and technical practices [2]. Kropp et al distinguish between technical and collaborative practices (they also differentiate a few advanced practices, like limited work in progress and BDD) [13]. Their categorization also roughly matches our own, with their collaborative category corresponding to our organizational one.…”

Abstract. Background: Agile Software Development is widely used nowadays and to measure its real usage we need to analyze how its practices are used. These practices have been categorized by several authors and some practitioners have suggested that technical practices have a lower usage level than organizational practices. Objective: In this study we aim to understand the actual usage of technical and organizational agile practices in the Latin-American Agile community. Method: We conducted a three-stage survey in conferences of the Latin-American Agile Community. Results: Organizational practices are much more used than technical ones. The number of practices used is a direct function of organization experience using agile. The difference between technical and organizational practices reduces with the experience of the organization using agile. Team size and project duration seem to have no effect in the number of practices used.

Stress is an important workplace issue, affecting both the health of individuals, and the health of organizations. Early advocacy for Agile Software Development suggested it might help avoid stress, with practices that emphasize a sustainable pace, and self-organizing teams. Our analysis of a 2014 survey, however, suggested that stress might still be commonplace in Agile teams, especially for those with less experience. We also noticed that newcomers to Agile emphasized technical, rather than collaborative, practices, and speculated this might explain the stress. We explored this in our analysis of a follow-up survey conducted in 2016, and report our findings in this paper. We show that there are a variety of factors involved, and that avoiding stress is associated with both collaborative and technical practices, and a range of outcomes.

“…There is no consensus on the number or level of granularity of Agile practices. Kurapati et al [10], for example, included 25 Agile practices, while Kropp et al [12] included 23 Agile practices. In our survey, we included 17 Agile practices which we adopted from Solinski and Petersen [14], since they based their list of 90 practices on earlier works and our survey is an extension of theirs.…”
