Long Term Learning of Agile Teams

“…So, he must take into consideration how to deal with any problem by adopting agile methodologies in the project [4]. Therefore, seven behaviors are identified for the manger when adopt the agile in managing the software development process.…”

OntoAgile: an ontology for agile software development processes

“…It has also been possible to find some taxonomies, the first one, is a dependency taxonomy which allows us to identify the dependencies for agile software development projects, this work studies one of the most important features and pillars in agile projects, the collaboration, and how to get it through an effective coordination by means of the analysis of dependence between projects [31]. Similarly, it was possible to find a study which analyses the behavior of project managers when they adopt agile approaches in software development projects [32]. After analyzing the related works, some aspects associated to the limitations of these proposals are presented below:…”

“…Similarly, for the EAs, ontologies and taxonomies have been defined for specific domains in XP [20], FDD [27], Scrum [28,29], and the generic ontology for agile methods presented in [30]. At the analysis level of the structure of the concepts related to the agility, some defined taxonomies have been found, which have allowed to identify the dependencies between agile software development projects and to facilitate the coordination and collaboration among projects [31] and also, solutions that have allowed analyzing the agile behavior of project managers [32]. However, it has been possible to observe that the proposed solutions are of a preliminary nature and are limited in the following aspects: i) a generic scope that supports multiple AAs and TAs is not included, ii) absence of concepts and fundamental agile relationships such as: values , principles, agile practices and activities of the process, iii) the relationship of the proposed concepts, the concept of quality, the agile principles and values are not observed, iv) there are still inconsistencies and conflicts related to terminology, and vii) the potential and benefits of the harmonization between the concepts and relationships present in AAs and TAs is not maximized.…”

Project Management Tasks in Agile Projects: A Quantitative Study

The inherit suggestion in studies about project managers in agile projects is that the leadership style or skills, knowledge, personal attributes and behavior of the project manager must be adapted [8,9,22,23].…”

“…There is some speculation that the project manager is better suited to take over the product owner role [2] than the agile coach. While other research starts with the premise that there is an agile project manager who is a facilitator or coach [6,7,8,9]. Even the Agile Practice Guide issued by the Project Management Institute (PMI) in 2017 states that the "role of the Project Manager in an agile project is somewhat unknown" [10, p. 37].…”
