Agile software development methodology has been implemented by software industries over a decade ago and well accepted in the practitioner community. However, there is limited understanding on how agile practitioners aware towards implementation of agile practices in software development. Lack of awareness will lead to misunderstandings among agile practitioners and misuse the agile practices. In order to understand the awareness of agile practices, this paper aims to investigate the factors that affect awareness of agile practitioners in implementing agile practices. A systematic literature review (SLR)was conducted in order to classify and define the factors of awareness in agile software development methodology. The review was based on papers between 2002 and December 2014 from seven electronic databases. The relevant papers were included 20 journal articles, 24 conference papers,16 book chapters, 9 workshop papers. Consequently, 69 papers were identified that closely related with awareness in agile software development methodology. From the thematic analysis, 13 factors were classified from 42 elements. Based on the review result, understanding the influential factors on the awareness of agile practices will provide benefit to researchers and agile practitioners.

Software organisations follow different methodologies for the development of software. The software development methodologies are mainly divided into two categories, including plan-driven and agile development. To attain project success, it is very significant to consider risk management during whole project. Agile development is considered risk-driven, but many risks are unreported at the industrial level. The risks can be divided into three categories, including (i) development risks, (ii) organisations risks, and (iii) people-oriented risks. This paper deals with Development risks specifically. Several risks related to development are faced by people working in the industry while dealing with agile development. Their management among the industry is a big issue, so this paper emphasises ARMF based on development-related risks by following agile development. This research work will help software organisations to prevent different project-related risks during agile development. The risks are elicited at two-level, (i) literature-based and (ii) IT industry based. A systematic literature review was performed for eliciting the agile risks from the literature. Detailed case studies and survey research methods were applied for eliciting risks from IT industry. Finally, we merged the agile development risks from literature with standard industrial risks. Hence, we established an agile risk mitigation framework ARMF based on agile development and present a groundwork established in light of empirical examination for extending it in future research.

There are many limitations in applying agile methodology to projects so far. In fact, projects overlap with other development methodologies and management processes, resulting in confusing progress, while there are often cases where the benefits of agile cannot be embraced due to a lack of understanding of agile processes and the organization's inability to adapt to change. It is an important role of information system development to improve the quality of agile application projects by discovering the problems and improvements in these cases. In this paper, we analyze the differences between existing development and project management methods and agile, and analyze agile processes. The optimal agile methodology was proposed by analyzing and applying methodologies established and applied mainly by large domestic development companies. In addition, the effectiveness was verified through a questionnaire of IT experts, and the result of the questionnaire was verified to be 4.75 points on a 5-point scale.

Agile project management is an ongoing method to project completion that actually took place all across length of the project's life cycle. Because loop allows you to adapt as you go rather than maintaining a linear route, iterative methods are mainly applied in software development to ensure velocity and agility. Many pitfalls abound in agile software development adaptations that organizations fail to sidestep. New competitive challenges, fluctuating market dynamics, technological disruption, and the ever-changing demands of empowered customers confront organizations around the world. Organizations are all under tremendous pressure to adapt to change and deliver good products and services to customers more swiftly. Research measured at the challenges that could be encountered and offered advice for how agile development might flourish as it becomes a component of a company's family. Our paper gives a comprehensive review of the most significant obstacles that companies encounter while adopting agile techniques. Adaptability. The agile approach encompasses a variety of techniques, which each have different usage in various sectors. Because certain other standards existing today clash with agile methodology, the adaptation of any of the agile techniques in work environments posed a problem. In this paper, we will cover some of the challenges that firms face in adopting the agile software development life cycle.

In an early stage, many people think that agile development methodology cannot be applied i large-scale IT projects. Nevertheless, agile development methodology has recently been introduced in variety of successful large-scale IT projects. In this paper, I compare two enterprise agile methodologies and introduce a case of Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) Framework, an enterprise agile development methodology. I compare and quantitatively measure the productivity of the development of two projects using Disciplined Agile Delivery framework and waterfall development methodology with a similar development scope.

Distributed agile software development faces difficulties for instance lack of visibility across development and delivery processes, complex and disjointed development processes, inability to capitalize on business opportunities, lack of communication agility between disconnected owners, development teams, and users or clients. However these difficulties are solved with the help of cloud computing services. This study proposes a framework to provide a skeletal or structural environment for distributed agile software development in cloud computing environment. The framework guide towards the best tooling to deliver a consistent, automated, governed, and unified agile software development process with reduced technical debt, and minimized project backlog. In addition to this, the study highlights the benefits of cloud computing in agile software development.

Agile methods are highly attractive for small projects, but no agile method works well as a standalone system. Therefore, some adaption or customization is always required. In this paper, the Agile Framework for Small Projects (AFSP) was applied to four industry cases. The AFSP provides a structured way for software organizations to adopt agile practices and evaluate the results. The framework includes an extended Scrum process and agile practices, which are based on agility and critical success factors in agile software projects that are selected from Scrum, XP, FDD, DSDM and Crystal Clear. AFSP also helps software managers and developers effectively use agile engineering techniques throughout the software development lifecycle. The case study projects were evaluated on the basis of risk-based agility factors, the agility of the adopted practices, agile adoption levels, and the degree of the agile project success. The analysis of the results showed that the framework used in the aforementioned cases was effective.
