Agile software development is finding a new dimension in software development process models. As tools and techniques used to develop software has been changed drastically. Software development processes need to keep pace with changing technologies and new demands from clients. Today’s changing business needs have given rise to adaption of structures, strategies, and policies to suit the new en...

The traditional way of business process development is via creating a detailed model of a business process in question, acquiring an IT-system to support it, and then implementing it in the organizational practice. Acquiring a system can be done via designing and manufacturing it by the business itself, or via commissioning it to somebody else. Alternatively, a generic system can be bought and ...

The paper describes the impact of Agile approach on e-Learning content developed by organizations implementing CMMI methodology. It is shown that new ICT developments ask for an agile updating of some practices in order to implement low cost projects.

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is considered as one of the widespread modeling language standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG). Therefore, the model driving engineering (MDE) community attempts to provide reuse of UML diagrams, and do not construct it from scratch. The UML model appears according to a specific software development process. The existing method generation models focus...

Technology roadmapping has become an important foresight tool for science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy technology strategy development. There are, however, challenges in translating evidence from into the strategies of STI agencies planning research & development (RTD) organizations. While evaluation literature identifies methodological issues related to granularity, scope, stak...

This paper describes the pathway by which have arrived at teaching a particular combination of agile and structured methodologies in a software engineering course within a vocational computing degree. The background of teaching to a pure structured approach is followed by descriptions of eight iterations of increasing agility. The current approach: the “agile framework” is introduced and descri...

In modern well known approaches, “agile” has emerged as the leading approach in software industry for the development of the software projects. With different innovative shapes agile is applicable for handling the issues regarding cost, time, continuously change environment and requirements.
