Systematic mapping on the agility evaluation in software development organizations

Abstract

Agile software development approaches provide great benefits for organizations; however, their implementation is subject to many challenges. For organizations is important to know the level of agility achieved and the gaps in their transformation process in order to implement improvements in their processes and take advantage of the agile approaches. Keeping this in mind, this article presents a systematic mapping of the literature about the evaluation of agility in software development organizations. As a result, 18 studies were found, which were analyzed and compared taking into account the type of study, the relationship of the evaluation with the principles and agile values, the defined evaluation criteria, the validation methods used, and the proposed tools. In addition, the factors that influence the assessment of agility and the aspects that motivate the interest in this research stream are exposed.

“…De igual manera la implementación incompleta de enfoques agiles pudo haber generado retrasos ya que, aunque se contó con la herramientas, procesos y prácticas que varios de estos enfoques sugerían, nunca se vio un resultado efectivo como sugieren Ortega-Ordóñez et al (2019). Para aprovechar los beneficios de los enfoques ágiles, las organizaciones software deben ir más allá de simplemente adoptar o institucionalizar buenas prácticas, procesos, plantillas o herramientas con el fin de generar soluciones de valor para el cliente a través de equipos con un propósito compartido.…”

Towards an ontology-based recommender system for agile practices adoption

“…The ontology-based solution framework aims to classify, organize, and unify all the existing knowledge on A-GSD, for which it includes an ontology that represents the knowledge in terms of agile and distributed projects features, and a tool that uses the knowledge of this ontology to make available to the community the existing knowledge about A-GSD. [Ortega-Ordoñez et al 2019] suggested a common and consistent terminology that allows sharing the knowledge generated from implementing agile approaches in the software processes. The proposal focuses on facilitating the assessment of the agility of the software processes, from the identification of the relationships between the elements of the software processes and the agile principles and values.…”
