Agile methods require constant optimization of one's approach and leading to the adaptation of agile practices. These practices are also adapted when introducing them to companies and their software development teams due to organizational constraints. As a consequence of the widespread use of agile methods, we notice a high variety of their elements: Practices, roles, and artifacts. This multitude of agile practices, artifacts, and roles results in an unsystematic mixture. It leads to several questions: When is a practice a practice, and when is it a method or technique? This paper presents the tree of agile elements, a taxonomy of agile methods, based on the literature and guidelines of widely used agile methods. We describe a taxonomy of agile methods using terms and concepts of software engineering, in particular software process models. We aim to enable agile elements to be delimited, which should help companies, agile teams, and the research community gain a basic understanding of the interrelationships and dependencies of individual components of agile methods.

“…Unsurprisingly, as noted in literature relevant to ARCM, the identification and validation of the need for change is important prior to initiating the development process. Akbar et al [8] and Saher et al [18] have also highlighted the significance of the identification and validation process in ARCM. We mapped the investigated factors for both organisation types by considering the mapping model proposed by Khan et al [47] and Akbar et al [8].…”

“…Apart from the abovementioned advantages, GSD firms also face several limitations, particularly with regard to implementing ARCM activities [18]. Since these activities are based on communication and coordination, the geographical distance between offshore sites results in the lack of effective and efficient communication and coordination [19].…”

Toward successful agile requirements change management process in global software development: a client–vendor analysis

Requirements change management (RCM) is an important and complicated phase in the agile for the software development process. The objective of this study was to identify and analyse the factors that can positively affect the agile RCM (ARCM) process in the context of global software development (GSD). To this end, a questionnaire survey was carried out with researcher and practitioner participants working in the field of GSD. From the 56 survey respondents, a total of 20 factors that can positively influence the ARCM activities in GSD were identified. The authors also performed a client-vendor-based analysis to investigate the significance of the considered factors for different organisation types. Additionally, they compared the data collected from researchers and practitioners. The comparison results (r s (20) = 0.076) revealed that there exists a positive correlation between the rankings in each data set. The investigated factors were mapped to ten project management book of knowledge areas, and the mapping results revealed that human resource management is the most significant knowledge area amongst the investigated factors. The findings of this study provide a robust framework to assist GSD firms in implementing ARCM activities.

“…Bano et al [21] reported the causes of requirement change and classified them into two categories as accidental and essential. For better understanding, McGee and Greer [22] used a taxonomy, and Saher et al [23] categorized the causes of requirement change factors into reason and change of origin. Agile requirement in large scale is presented in [24] and analysis and management of conflicts between team are described in [25].…”

Agile software development has large success rate due to its benefits and promising nature but natively where the size of the project is small. Requirement engineering (RE) is crucial as in each software development life cycle, “Requirements” play a vital role. Though agile provides values to customer’s business needs, changing requirement, and interaction, we also have to face impediments in agile, many of which are related to requirement challenges. This article aims to find out the challenges being faced during requirement engineering of agile projects. Many research studies have been conducted on requirement challenges which are somehow biased, no suggestions are given to improve the agile development process, and the research does not highlight large-scale agile development challenges. Hence, this article covers all the challenges discussed above and presents a comprehensive overview of agile models from requirement engineering perspective. The findings and results can be very helpful for software industry to improve development process as well as for researchers who want to work further in this direction.
