About this book
Agile software development has become an umbrella term for a number of changes in how software developers plan and coordinate their work, how they communicate with customers and external stakeholders, and how software development is organized in small, medium, and large companies, from the telecom and healthcare sectors to games and interactive media. Still, after a decade of research, agile software development is the source of continued debate due to its multifaceted nature and insufficient synthesis of research results.
Dingsøyr, Dybå, and Moe now present a comprehensive snapshot of the knowledge gained over many years of research by those working closely with or in the industry. It shows the current state of research on agile software development through an introduction and ten invited contributions on the main research fields, each written by renowned experts. These chapters cover three main issues: foundations and background of agile development, agile methods in practice, and principal challenges and new frontiers. They show the important results in each subfield, and in addition they explain what these results mean to practitioners as well as for future research in the field.
The book is aimed at reflective practitioners and researchers alike, and it also can serve as the basis for graduate courses at universities.
Reviews
"Your one-stop resource to agile software development." - from the Foreword by Hakan Erdogmus, Kalemun Research Inc., Ottawa, Canada
"[...] This broad survey of these [agile] methods discusses their most relevant aspects, advantages, and disadvantages. [...] Each self-contained paper includes its own references, yet all of them share a quasi-entomological look at the agile software development field, dissecting its merits and pitfalls. [...]" ACM Copmuting Review, Andrea Paramithiotti, January 2011
