Evaluation of the Most Used Agile Methods (XP, Lean, Scrum) (Paperback)

Today, the debate continues again about how much agile method worth? Is it really true that the software development process in agile way has real advantages; as lot of researchers and Practitioners defend? Debates still going on in agile development area where people argue against or in favour of placing practices before values. This dissertation with the help of a survey conducted in a poll of the " agile practitioners " will demonstrate until where the agile values influence the production software in a study of four factors: Team, Practice, Opinion and Organization. The evaluation framework built was used to 'balance' Agile against Toyota Production System (TPS: which is capable of improving quality following some principles). The framework allowed us to determine how the set of agile values and principles influence the practices in these four factors and lead to produce a quality product.
