Abstract
Abstract Organizations and teams are switching to agile methodology more and more often. The problem lies in the fact that organizations and teams are not certain at which agility level they currently are and at which agility domains they fail. This research focuses on creating a new method and tool for evaluation of the agility level of the company. The proposed method is based on the agility model of the company with agility domains, subdomains and attributes. Expert evaluation of domains, subdomains and attributes is the core of this method. The result of this research is the agility assessment method and blueprint of the architecture for the agility evaluation tool.
Highlights
Agile software development has become more and more popular during the last decade and offers opportunity to deal with software development in a more dynamic way
It would seem that the agile approach may handle most of the problems in software development, but this assumption could be wrong as the switching to the agile methods might introduce new problems companies should deal with
The process of evaluation and improvement is implemented in the Organization Domain Agility method (ODA) based on Scrum process [1], but it could be adjusted to work with other agile methods as well [3]
Summary
Agile software development has become more and more popular during the last decade and offers opportunity to deal with software development in a more dynamic way. Companies are switching to iterative agile methodologies [1] which give opportunity to get feedback in a timely manner and to implement changes during software development process when it is necessary and with lower costs. It would seem that the agile approach may handle most of the problems in software development, but this assumption could be wrong as the switching to the agile methods might introduce new problems companies should deal with. To deal with the problem a new method is proposed, that allows to follow the process of transition from the traditional to agile development and to execute regular health checks of the agile development. The solution proposed includes decomposition of the organization by using agility domains, subdomains and attributes which allows evaluating the organization and its processes in a holistic manner. The process of evaluation and improvement is implemented in the Organization Domain Agility method (ODA) based on Scrum process [1], but it could be adjusted to work with other agile methods as well [3]
