Abstract

Agile practices are considered as a major attraction for global software development (GSD) projects owing to its flexible nature. Beside the major benefits it offers to GSD, there are few challenges that hinders its implementation across the global software industry. This study contributes in constructing a systematic literature review for exploring the major factors impacting the agile adaptation at global level. We have identified and analyzed 28 research studies (2015-2019). These selected studies have revealed Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) as the most popular agile practices that are adapted irrespective of the software type and organizational structure. Furthermore 5 tool categories are also presented i.e. modeling, requirement elicitation, data tracking tools etc. that are commonly used while practicing agile. The major findings of this study conclude that these agile methodologies are heavily adapted due to their iterative model and quick code delivery but basic challenges like poor customer involvement and lack of documentation are badly affecting its growth at global level.

全球软件开发中影响敏捷适应因素的系统文献综述

敏捷实践由于其灵活性被认为是全球软件开发(GSD)项目的主要吸引力。除了它为GSD提供的主要好处之外，还存在一些阻碍其在全球软件行业实现的挑战。本研究对全球范围内影响敏捷适应的主要因素进行了系统的文献综述。我们确定并分析了28项研究(2015-2019)。这些选定的研究表明，Scrum和极限编程(XP)是最流行的敏捷实践，无论软件类型和组织结构如何，都可以进行调整。此外，还介绍了在实践敏捷时常用的5类工具，即建模工具、需求提取工具、数据跟踪工具等。这项研究的主要结论是，这些敏捷方法由于其迭代模型和快速代码交付而得到了广泛的应用，但像糟糕的客户参与和缺乏文档这样的基本挑战正在严重影响其在全球范围内的发展。
