In recent years, the use of, interest in, and controversy about Agile
methodologies have realized dramatic growth. Anecdotal evidence
is rising regarding the effectiveness of agile methodologies in
certain environments and for specified projects. However, collection
and analysis of empirical evidence of this effectiveness and classification
of appropriate environments for Agile projects has not been conducted.
Researchers from four institutions organized an eWorkshop to synchronously
and virtually discuss and gather experiences and knowledge from
eighteen Agile experts spread across the globe. These experts characterized
Agile Methods and communicated experiences using these methods on
small to very large teams. They discussed the importance of staffing
Agile teams with highly skilled developers. They shared common success
factors and identified warning signs of problems in Agile projects.
These and other findings and heuristics gathered through this valuable
exchange can be useful to researchers and to practitioners as they
establish an experience base for better decision making.
