“…On the other hand, some methods such as DSDM [23] and ISD [18] are more complete and require less tailoring. Obviously, a way needs to be found to ensure that the most appropriate Agile method is selected [39]- [41] for a specific project. Therefore, researchers and practitioners in the Agile methods domain have started to investigate various techniques to select the most suitable Agile method for a particular project.…”

“…However, this method of selection does not show which Agile methods are more suitable [43]. Selection of Practices in Agile Methods [41] In this work, the researcher focuses on evaluating which practices to adopt by taking into account the project constraints and the nature of the project. When project managers tested the provided selection method, they suggested that additional criteria could be incorporated for accurate decision making in selecting Agile method practices.…”

“…When project managers tested the provided selection method, they suggested that additional criteria could be incorporated for accurate decision making in selecting Agile method practices. However, the additional criteria were not discussed [41]. Selection of Practices in Agile methods [39] The researchers proposed a formal method of prioritizing the practices in Agile methods, whereby two approaches are derived from the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) decision making technique, namely Rule-Description-Practice (RDP) techniques and cost-value analysis [39].…”

“…The project's criticality appears to highly influence the cost of the project [5] and can affect human lives [34]. It also therefore affects the selection of an Agile method [41], [83], [94], [96], [97]. For instance, the Crystal Clear method is not suitable when a defect in the implementation of a specific project could cause monetary loss [17].…”

Abstract-Agile methods have become popular in recent years because the success rate of project development using Agile methods is better than structured design methods. Nevertheless, less than 50 percent of projects implemented using Agile methods are considered successful, and selecting the wrong Agile method is one of the reasons for project failure. Selecting the most appropriate Agile method is a challenging task because there are so many to choose from. In addition, potential adopters believe that migrating to an Agile method involves taking a drastic risk. Therefore, to assist project managers and other decision makers, this study aims to identify the key factors that should be considered when selecting an appropriate Agile method. A systematic literature review was performed to elicit these factors in an unbiased manner, and then content analysis was used to analyze the resultant data. It was found that the nature of the project, development team skills, project constraints, customer involvement and organizational culture are the key factors that should guide decision makers in the selection of an appropriate Agile method based on the value these factors have for different organizations and/or different projects.

The practices of lean and agile methods are important to manage and guide projects development in different situations. However, selecting the appropriate practices of lean and agile methods is a daunting task, owing to the availability of hundreds of practices. This wide variety of available practices bewilders potential users, in terms of the best practices that may yield satisfactory solution when applied to the project development. Lean and agile practices selection model is necessary to guide both academic and industrial experts to choose the appropriate practices for a specific project development. Thus, this study aimed to develop lean and agile practices selection (LAPS) model that presents a clear picture of how developers can use LAPS model to select and adopt different practices from various lean and agile methods. Qualitative research method (e.g., grounded theory) was used to interview 18 software developers across 13 countries. The validated qualitative analysis results showed that the proposed LAPS model consists of two main components, which are (1) lean and agile practices that include 41 best practices related to lean and agile methods and (2) factors that affect the process of lean and agile practices selection including five main factors and 17 subfactors associated with the five main factors. The two case studies conducted assured the validity and applicability of the lean and agile practices selection model.
