TAILIEUCHUNG - PEOPLE FACTORS IN AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The scientific world has changed. For nearly two centuries after Newton, his ideas held sway, and found widespread adoption in many other disciplines. Subsequent advances in the sciences – from Einstein’s relativity thinking to quantum physics – have since replaced the Newtonian world-view in many disciplines. In particular, a more recent revolution in the scientific community looks set to finally change traditional manage- ment – the new science of complexity. Over the past two or three decades, scientists have explored living systems in many fields – as diverse as biology and economics – to search for common properties. | International Journal of Software Engineering Applications IJSEA January 2012 People Factors in Agile Software Development and Project Management Vikash Lalsing1 Somveer Kishnah2 and Sameerchand Pudaruth3 1TNT Express ICS Mauritius Ebene Cybercity Rose Hill 2Department of Computer Science Engineering University of Mauritius Reduit Moka Abstract With the increasing popularity of Agile Methods many software organisations are moving away from traditional methods to adopt Agile development methodologies. Instead of being predictive Agile is rather adaptive and people-focussed. It advocates a small and collaborative team that work closely together. But team size is a factor that is in turn constrained by people factors. When implementing Agile these key factors are often overlooked. This study aims at identifying the underlying people factors to consider when adopting Agile for a team to be effective. The method used is the study of three different sized Agile teams developing products based on the same technologies and using Scrum. Both objective and subjective measures were used and the results are supported by a survey. The results clearly show that for agile methodologies to work well it is crucial to select the right people for the right team. Keywords Agile Methodology Scrum Agile Teams Software Development Project Management 1. Introduction Agile project management is a conceptual framework in software engineering where software is built within a relatively short period of time and has several iterations which yield stable release of software Hariyadi 2011 . According to the Agile Manifesto 2011 Agile is based on a set of principles that focus on customer value iterative and incremental delivery intense collaboration small integrated teams self-organization and small and continuous improvements. It is often stated that Agile Management works best with small teams. According to Bustamante
