Abstract
There are different types of lightweight methods for the development of software like eXtreme Programming (XP), scrum, agile modeling, etc. These methods are also referred to as agile methods. Different criteria’s are involved during the selection of agile methods so we visualize the agile methods selection problem as a multi-criteria decision making problem. Selection of an appropriate agile method according to the need of the project is an important research issue. Therefore, in order to address this issue, we present a method for the selection of agile methods using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Following criteria’s have been used for the selection of agile methods, i.e., positive response in dynamic requirements (PRDR), incorporation of requirements changes (IRC), communication with the customer (CWC), and the size of development team (SDT). Finally, a case study is given to explain the proposed method.
