“…In fact, only Malte Ressin seems to have dealt with the problems of agile localization, albeit by looking at relationships between a development team and a localization team working on the same project. Ressin's papers [1], [2] and [3] examine agile localization from a psychological standpoint, pointing at different goals, an understanding of each other's subjects, and concepts of the quality of two involved teams. Ressin also completed a dissertation [4] on this matter.…”

This paper presents some initial insights into practical translation problems that can occur during agile localization. Although agile localization is not a novel approach to software localization, the range of possible translation problems and their causes and solutions have not yet been described. In order to write this paper, an ad hoc monolingual English corpus made up of user interface strings of one agile localized software product was used. The corpus was analyzed string by string, and various causes of translation problems, mostly relating to lacking context, were identified. The paper presents and discusses sample cases of these problems. This paper tries to show that while agile localization can be used as an alternative to traditional localization, the development team must be open to cooperation with the localization team in order for agile localization to be successfully implemented; otherwise, problems will occur.

“…all except one paper was less than ten years of age. [39], Irrazabal et al [40], Hoda et al [41], [42], Dorairaj et al [43], Senapathi et al [44], Ressin et al [45], [46], Santos and Goldman [47], Kim and Ryoo [48], Ihme [49], and Allisy-Roberts et al [4], with publication years ranging from 2008 to 2017. Of the listed challenges, the one that is very peculiar comes from the mixed mode study by Heikkila et al [18], which recorded that cross functional generalist teams were not plausible in the environment.…”

Scrum has been the most widely adopted Agile methodology over the past decade with Scrum and Scrum variants offering alternatives to the old software development methods. While Scrum plays an important role in the success of Agile development, it does come with its own challenges. In previous research challenges have been analyzed at the organizational and team level, primarily via case studies. However, fundamentally, Scrum needs to be adopted at the individual level. Furthermore, challenges such as inexperience, poor communication, specialization, lack of teamwork, low-quality, organizational culture and Scrum compatibility, have been identified as contributors. This paper therefore discusses the Scrum and Agile adoption challenges faced both globally as well as within the South African borders, from the findings of a narrative review. Secondly, a custom model adapted from the Diffusion of Innovation theoretical model was developed to detect the Scrum adoption challenges experienced within software organizations at the individual level. The custom model referred to as the Scrum Adoption Challenges Detection Model (SACDM) consists of four constructs, namely; individual factors, team factors, organizational factors and technology factors. The constructs are composed of nineteen independent variables that assists in understanding which factors contributes towards an individual either adopting or rejecting Scrum within a software organization. SACDM is therefore used to detect the adoption or rejection of Scrum as the dependent variable based on the independent variables being tested within the four constructs. The model can further be used with a survey questionnaire to provide generalized awareness of Scrum adoption challenges allowing software organizations to make more informed decisions when adopting Scrum. Future research is to allow the model to contribute towards Scrum adoption challenges predictive analysis.
