“…An implementation of a subset of these elements is a partial implementation of an agile method. Aiming to provide the comprehensive solution for the partial adaptation, we have proposed general guidelines and concepts for building such a framework [28]. During the further research of the analysis results, the scope of our framework has been extended and classes for the metamodel were defined.…”

“…Although we have addressed these issues to some extent in our previous researches [27,28] the further analysis revealed the need for decomposing the problem. Therefore, we propose viewing the problem of the partial agile method adaptation as a generalization of six sub-problems ( Figure 1).…”

“…Others propose adopting individual Agile practices only [5,21]. Finally, there is a group of considerably more practical approaches [8,12,27,28,31] that could be described as techniques for the partial agile method adaptation. The problem with these approaches is that each of them proposes a solution for different aspects of the partial agile method adaptation and does not cover the whole problem.…”

Today, such information system development methods as Extreme Programming, Scrum, Dynamic Systems Development Method, Crystal family, Agile modeling, OpenUP and others are being positioned as proven alternatives to the more traditional plan-driven approaches. However, although there are a variety of agile methods to choose from, the formal methods for their partial adaptation and customization are lacking. The main aim of this paper is to present a metamodel of the framework for a partial agile method adaptation. The paper presents the process of metamodel construction from the concepts that are both direct and indirect solutions to the sub-problems of the partial agile method adaptation. The presented paper extends some of our earlier and more fragmented findings that have been described in our previous work.

“…Mikulenas and Kapocius [45] by emphasizing on starting adaptation of Agile methodologies by preparation of the project, declared that for each project, may need to consider different Agile methodologies or Agile practices. Cohn [46] believed that absence of a pilot project is a challenge in ATP and Mahanti [47] addressed it as one of the critical success keys in Agile transformation.…”

Prevalence of Agile methods in software companies is increasing dramatically. Software companies need to employ these methods to overcome the inherent challenges of traditional methods. However, transitioning to Agile approach is a topic of debate and there is no unique and well-defined transition model or framework yet. Although some research studies have addressed barriers and strengths behind the successful Agile deployment, it seems that this process still needs to be studied more in depth. The rationale behind this is the socio-technical nature of Agile transition and adoption. Particularly, the challenges and problems that software companies are facing during Agile transition, show that this process in more difficult than expected. Conducting a large-scale research study revealed that Agile transition and adoption process needs to be supported by several critical prerequisites. This study adopted a Ground Theory with the participation of 49 Agile experts from 13 different countries and empirically identified seven transition prerequisites. These prerequisites focus on the different aspects of the transition. The main aim of this paper is proposing these prerequisites and theoretical and practical implication of these prerequisites. Providing these prerequisites before moving to Agile increases chance of success in Agile transition and adoption and leads to fewer challenges during the change process.
