The Missing Framework for Adaptation of Agile Software Development Projects

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Eurasian Studies in Business and Economics ((EBES,volume 11/2))

Abstract

This paper focuses on the study of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) implementation of software development project in an insurance company name “Preeminence” in Jakarta, Indonesia. Initial findings in this corporation reveal that several key people who had using Agile SDLC, mentioned they need some accommodation when implementing Agile during a project. Previous studies had introduced the additional process to help a project using Agile. However, studies that explored the importance of experience-based learning process during Agile implementation are noticeably lacking. The needs of the experience-based learning process to explore the learning process as a factor for adaptation of Agile implementation, which hopes to increase the success of a project when using the Agile framework. Methods carried out in this research are based on archival research strategy by examining extant research on Agile adaptation for software projects implementation which published from 1999. Many studies focus on Agile implementation related to content and context to put additional process as an accommodation to easier a project using Agile. However, only a few discussed the process, particularly the learning process which is mean that research gap exists in the area of Agile implementation relates to the learning process.
