Abstract

. The goal of this study is to propose a decision model for supporting the choice of the best-agile model, based on the Flexible and Interactive Tradeoff (FITradeoff) method. This study provides the definition of an extensive set of 38 measurable criteria that were considered for evaluation of the most popular agile process models used in small and medium-scale enterprises. To illustrate the application of the model, we applied it to a set of alternatives that includes DSDM, SCRUM, XP2 and Crystal and an experienced project manager acted as our decision maker during the interactive elicitation process of the FITradeoff. The results show that the FITradeoff is very valuable for this class of problem because of its strong mathematical foundation and the possibility of combining two different ways for modeling the preferences of decision makers, which makes the process cognitively easier than other multi-criteria methods and increase the confidence on the results. Although our study focuses on the context of small and medium-scale companies for software development, the approach can be used to other types of environments, including distributed software development and large enterprises.

支持使用迭代选择最适合的敏捷模型

．本研究的目的是提出一个基于灵活交互权衡(FITradeoff)方法的决策模型，以支持最佳敏捷模型的选择。本研究提供了一套广泛的38个可测量标准的定义，这些标准被认为是评估中小型企业中最流行的敏捷过程模型的标准。为了说明该模型的应用，我们将其应用于包括DSDM, SCRUM, XP2和Crystal在内的一组备选方案，并在FITradeoff的交互式启发过程中由一位经验丰富的项目经理担任我们的决策者。结果表明，fitradoff方法在这类问题中具有很强的数学基础，并且可以结合两种不同的方法来建模决策者的偏好，这使得该过程比其他多准则方法更容易认知，并增加了结果的置信度。虽然我们的研究集中在软件开发的中小型公司的背景下，但是该方法可以用于其他类型的环境，包括分布式软件开发和大型企业。
