Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 31Organizational Issues in Embracing Agile Methods: an Empirical Assessment(Springer india, 2021) Mishra, Alok; Abdalhamid, Samia; Mishra, Deepti; Ostrovska, SofiyaThis study provides empirical evidence to the body of knowledge in Agile methods adoption in small, medium and large organizations in international context. This research explores the factors involved in the adoption of Agile methods in software development organizations. A survey was conducted among Agile professionals to gather survey data from 52 software organizations in seven countries across the world. Statistical techniques are applied towards empirical assessment. Organizational culture, team structure and management support are found to be crucial success factors whereas lack of management support, a large organization size and traditional organizational culture are found to be detrimental for the adoption of Agile approach in an organization. The selection of an appropriate Agile method depends on the project size and, for each size, there are specific methods preferred by different enterprises. Providing better control over the work is viewed as the primary advantage of the Agile methods within large and small organizations, while for the medium-size organizations, the priority is switched to coping with changing user requirements. Majority of the respondents did not consider embracing agile methods as a reason for project failure which indicates that Agile methods are, indeed, beneficial.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Achieving Success in Supply Chain Management Software by Agility(Springer Verlag, 2007) Mishra,D.; Mishra,A.Supply chain management is comprehensive software. Due to its scope and unpredictable, complex and unstable requirements, it is not possible to develop it with predictable development process models. Agile methodologies are targeted towards such kind of problems that involves change and uncertainty, and are adaptive rather than predictive. The aim of this paper is to analyze the management and development methodologies used in development of supply chain management software. This paper shows how to overcome risks and handicaps in each development phase of a complex inventive project. It also provides a set of guidelines regarding how the agile methods may be adopted, combined and used in these kinds of projects. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 9Workspace Environment for Collaboration in Small Software Development Organization(2008) Mishra,D.; Mishra,A.Effective collaboration and communication are important contributing factors to achieve success in agile software development projects. The significance of workplace environment and tools are immense in effective commun-ication, collaboration and coordination between people performing software development. In this paper, we have illustrated how workplace environment, collaboration, improved communication, and coordination facilitated towards excellent productivity in a small-scale software development organization. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Market-Driven Software Project Through Agility: Requirements Engineering Perspective(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2009) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, AlokTime-to-market and insufficient initial requirements are two major challenges that make requirement engineering for market-driven software projects different from bespoke software projects. These challenges can be resolved by using agile methods for market-driven software development as agile methods put emphasis on a dynamic approach for requirement engineering which work closely with an iterative release cycle. In this study, dynamic requirement engineering approach of Agile methods was used for the successful implementation of market-driven software (Supply Chain Management) project.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Market-Driven Software Project Through Agility: Requirements Engineering Perspective(Springer Verlag, 2009) Mishra,D.; Mishra,A.Time-to-market and insufficient initial requirements are two major challenges that make requirement engineering for market-driven software projects different from bespoke software projects.
