Abstract:
On reading the vast amount of literature that has been written on Agile methodologies such as Scrum and XP one is invariably faced with a number of guidelines associated with successful implementation. The Agile Manifesto has stated various values and principles that need to be inculcated into any Agile software development undertaking. We might then expect that software development organisations that self-report as being Agile are abiding by the recommended precepts of their chosen Agile method, be this Scrum or Extreme Programming (XP). This paper presents empirical research that was undertaken in a sample of Irish software development organisations with a view to determining if the Agile precepts were being followed by organisations that self-described their software development process as either Scrum or XP.
