In the context of software process modeling, we face the challenge that companies often want to also adopt agile principles in their processes. However, agile methods, basically, comprise a set of values and practices that are described in only a few words. Nevertheless, when it comes to integrating agile methods and rich processes, it often remains unclear what a good integration looks like. We conducted research on good integration strategies that are based on process engineering frameworks such as EPF. For this, we need formal models of agile methods. Although we have several experiences and first models ourself, we are also aware that most of related work can be found in the "grey literature".
Therefore my question: Who has studies on formalizing agile methods at hand? I look for models and experiences of integrating agile methods and rich processes. Any help is welcome.
PS: Please no pure success stories.
Hi Marco,
of course I can not give you a concrete answer but I think we should further discuss on this topic, because within my PhD-topic I am exactly dealing with the idea of integrating agile practices (at the moment a student assistent and i building a collection and categorization [kind of formalization] of agile practices) into existing (more) plan-based processes (which are still used a lot in regulated domains).
I think based on this and a formalization of agile methods, we could have a good starting point together.
I would be happy if you contact me and we can discuss about this.
Best regards, Philipp.
Hi Philipp,
Brilliant - I have a project running in which we exactly do such things! Let's stay in touch.
Kind regards, Marco
Hi Marco,
I attached some works that I might be helpful.
Janus presents a "common model" for agile development methods.
Jinzenji et al. attempts to combine agile and "traditional" by using traditional metrics in agile projects.
I published some works on modelling Scrum projects using Bayesian Networks but I am not sure if its what you are looking for. So, I didn't attach them here, but I can send it to you if you want to take a look...
Br,
Mirko
Hi Marco,
we are working right now on such more-detailed definition too. We call our approach BPM(N)Easy. BPM(N)Easy defines (not only on a top level description) an agile method in the context of BPM. As soon the complete work (with project samples) are ready I'll push it to researchgate.
