Survey and Analysis of Process Frameworks for an Agile IT Organization

Abstract

Today's IT organizations are facing a dynamic business environment, which demands that organizations deliver software much faster and better tolerate changing requirements during the project development cycle. To address these challenges, the agile software development, as an iterative and incremental approach, has become an alternative to traditional development methodologies.
Large organizations that are experimenting and succeeding in using process frameworks at team level, like Scrum or Extreme Programming, face their next challenge in scaling these practices across the IT organizations. The process inevitably creates confusion as development teams employ different methods interface with each other. To meet this challenge, several scaling agile practices have emerged.
