Abstract
Coping with changechange is one of the main challenges of software engineering. This challenge encourages agile software developers to establish a development process that enables them to cope successfully with changes introduced during that process, while keeping the high quality of the product. This chapter focuses on change introduction into organizations that plan to transit, or that are already in the transition, to agile software development. Specifically, we present an evolutionary frameworkevolutionary framework for coping with change, using it for understanding a transition to agile development. We also suggest several methods to use in such a transition process, such as an organizational survey and a condensed workshop format on agile software development.
