Use of Knowledge Management and SCRUM techniques to increase the reusability in software development

Abstract

In this era of modern technology, every organization concerning healthcare is focusing on increasing the use of healthcare systems. Reason of using IT based healthcare systems are twofold. First of all, they provide a much better source and reliable means of sharing information among organizations. Secondly, they offer economic benefits and make life easier for health providers as well as patients. Healthcare is a wide and complex domain. During the development of such complex software using agile methodologies most of the softwares lose their quality standards. The main focus of software developers is to develop and release a build as early as possible, which obviously impacts the quality of software. Our research proposes a SCRUM based model that helps software developers to build healthcare systems, in parallel it will enhance and maintain desired quality standards with the use of knowledge management techniques. In our study, we conducted an experimental research to test the correctness and validity of proposed approach. Results revealed that the proposed approach significantly improves the quality of healthcare systems and enhance the satisfaction level of the product owner and the development team.
