Abstract
This research work presents a novel hybrid agile method for software development on mobile devices. The evaluation of several aspects is presented to show the advantages of this method, including level of agility the method, if the method is suitable or not to develop applications on mobile devices and its applicability on a real example. This new method was created after a process of five steps, which consisted on the analysis of current software for mobile devices and existent agile development methods, the design of an evaluation methodology for agile methods, the application of the evaluation method, the development of a hybrid agile development method and the use of the method in a real example. Components of the novel method, such as resources, schemas and artefacts used are described, since those elements can be useful for developers and project managers of mobile devices� software. The theoretical and practical evaluation of this new method indicates it possess the necessary characteristics to be consider an agile methodology. The method incorporates the strengths and improvements discovered in current agile development methods. Also, the application on the real example of development for mobile devices showed its applicability and good performance

Summary
Recibido 29 de julio de 2014, aceptado 20 de abril de 2015 Received: July 29, 2014 Accepted: April 20, 2015. Este trabajo presenta un nuevo método ágil híbrido para desarrollar software en dispositivos móviles, la evaluación de cuán ágil es, si es o no adecuada para el desarrollo de aplicaciones en dispositivos móviles y su aplicación en un caso real para evaluar sus bondades. El nuevo método se derivó mediante un proceso de cinco etapas, que consistieron en un análisis del software para dispositivos móviles y los métodos ágiles existentes, el diseño de un enfoque evaluativo, la aplicación del enfoque evaluativo, el desarrollo del método híbrido ágil para software en dispositivos móviles y la aplicación del método a un caso real. Las evaluaciones teóricas y prácticas del nuevo método indican que posee propiedades que son exigibles a los métodos ágiles.
