Proposta de um modelo baseado na combinação de metodologias ágeis de desenvolvimento de software

Abstract

The increase in the demand for software has consequently generated a rise in the dispute in the business world. For this reason, it is important to follow significant good practices in the development process in order to increase productivity, product quality and projects. To do this, it is essential to have a well-defined process that helps to avoid rework, understand customer expectations, choose the right tools, according to the established budget, and assist in organized and collaborative teamwork. Agile methodologies are an excellent proposal to adhere to these good development practices and overcome obstacles in project management, responding faster to change, and focus on meeting budgets and deadlines. However, possibly a single method will not suffice to meet all these factors. Due to this issue and their positive and negative points, this work suggests an agile model based on the combination of best practices of Scrum, XP, FDD, Lean and OpenUp / Basic methodologies. The research has a qualitative-quantitative method, since for the accomplishment of this work the methods of bibliographic research and analysis of documents were used to collect data on agile methodologies and models already proposed by other authors, and a questionnaire was obtained with information about difficulties of teams of software development in relation to the process of product construction. In addition, a case study was carried out to verify benefits of the model, and interviews were subsequently conducted with those involved in the case study. As results we present a comparison of the tasks before and after the implantation of the practices of the model, opinions of the software development team that participated in the research and suggestions for improvements.
