Abstract

Although a large amount of research has been carried out so far to study the impacts of agile methods in various phases of software engineering, only very few of these have yielded empirical evidence in the form of products being used in real life environment. Very few of these studies have been dedicated to study change management while adopting agile methods. In this paper, it has been argued that that agile software development, with its practices for user involvement and product visibility, can be used as a change management approach in most small to medium scale projects. As an illustration of the theoretical findings, the application of agile methods in managing change in two projects as Saudi Electronic University has been described. The results and findings clearly corroborate our findings and explain why agile methods should be practiced more often with for projects which need specific emphasis on change management.
敏捷开发作为软件项目中的变更管理方法:应用案例研究
尽管到目前为止已经进行了大量的研究来研究敏捷方法在软件工程各个阶段的影响,但只有很少的研究以实际生活环境中使用的产品形式产生了经验证据。这些研究中很少有专门研究采用敏捷方法的变更管理的。在本文中,我们讨论了敏捷软件开发,以及它在用户参与和产品可见性方面的实践,可以在大多数中小型项目中用作变更管理方法。作为理论发现的例证,敏捷方法在沙特电子大学的两个项目中管理变更的应用已经被描述。结果和发现清楚地证实了我们的发现,并解释了为什么敏捷方法应该更经常地用于需要特别强调变更管理的项目。
