Gap Analysis between State of Practice and State of Art Practices in Agile Software Development

Agile software development can be considered as a development methodology which suits the situations where requirements are changing frequently. Most of the literature about agile is specific to one or two practices. Lack of a comprehensive discussion on all the commonly used agile practices in literature and their adoption results by industry is very much evident. This work is an ongoing effort, where we are going to discuss some of the literature, we have gone through to solicit common agile practices, score them on the basis of frequency of referral and then we have tried to get an opinion from industry regarding our findings. Our aim is to have a comprehensive review of all the literature presented for Agile in last decade and have an analysis of these results based on feedback from industry of at-least 2-3 continents. In this short paper, we are presenting some of our findings and we hope to extend our work gradually.
