This paper presents an approach in analyzing personality types, temperament and team diversity to determine software engineering (SE) teams performance. The benefits of understanding personality types and its relationships amongst team members are crucial for project success. Rough set analysis was used to analyze Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types, Keirsey temperament, team diversity, and team performance. The result shows positive relationships between these attributes.

Problem statement:This study presents the initial findings on the impact of agile approach amongst Software Engineering (SE) teams in one computer center in Malaysia. This study revealed that agile approach able to receive positive feedbacks and increase positive affectivity amongst team members during software development projects. Approach: This study used action research approach. Data were collected from four Software Engineering (SE) teams who volunteered to participate in this study through a series of interviews, short-term observations and a questionnaire. Positive Affect scale from Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) questionnaire was used to measure the developers' state of positive affect during two intervals. Results: These findings found that not agile-XP practices adopted by the developers. This is due to knowledge barriers and organizational culture. However, agile approach induced level of positive affectivity amongst the members during software development process. In addition, agile approach promotes the members to be more active in coordinating and collaborating amongst teams. Conclusion: The findings in this study give an insight towards applying a flexible agile approach to accommodate and suit organizational culture. Effective methodology and organizational culture are important factors that must be considered to produce innovative teams and quality software.

“…The generation of "Agile Documents" might be an option. The generation of documentation in 'an agile way' proves to be hard to implement, but eventually very successful to maintain [29]. However, no literature has been found about this practice in the context of the pharmaceutical industry.…”

Software development projects in the context of the pharmaceutical industry are highly restricted. Innovation in terms of process changes within the practice of software development has to manoeuvre though the regulatory wilderness of legislation and industry standards. 49 articles have been selected using the Systematic Literature Review method to evaluate the maturity of this field of research. Agile methods conflict with the generally accepted software development methods within the pharmaceutical industry. Even the acquired set of literature disseminate about a various amount of topics regarding to the conflict of agile methods and the pharmaceutical industry. This research concludes that the appliance of existing agile methods in the pharmaceutical industry is relatively non-existent, possibly causing software development projects to exceed budgets.
