“…Those who perform better have higher perception levels, while others who own low scores do not result in the best outcomes (Langford and Reeves, 1998). Regarding agile behavior, Bonner et al (2010) found that the output is advantageous. Beliefs also have a lot more to do with the perception of performance and gaining an advantage (Stirin et al, 2012).…”

This study clarifies the student’s perspective in the disputed territory, to inculcate the influence of personality traits, moral obligation, entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial intentions, and these relationships mediated by perceived advantage. A framework for the judgment of entrepreneurial mindset in the context of disputed territory and special administrative zones is presented. The data was collected from Eastern students at four universities. The current survey was conducted using purposive sampling, and the sample size was 344 students from four different universities. The study used CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) and SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) for data analysis by using Smart PLS 3.2.9 and SPSS 26. The findings revealed the direct and indirect influence of personality traits entrepreneurial education and moral obligation on the intentions mediated by perceived advantage. Diversely, moral obligations do affect entrepreneurial intention in the presence of perceived advantage. The counterintuitive situation arises in the case of and helpful situation, where moral obligations are not playing role in the case of the disputed territory. The study contributes to enhancing the understanding of the entrepreneurial intention of university students in disputed territories. It brings into light the research agenda of entrepreneurship in disputed territories and special administrative areas. Specifically, the perceived advantage proved unique and verifiable intervening in the role between entrepreneurial education, personality traits, and the moral obligation with entrepreneurial intentions. This research supplies the basis for compatible academic and economic policy formulation. This study supplies a knowledge base for startups in special and disputed territories. It enhances innovation by making students fit their needs.

“…Pre-defined processes and more documentation are involved in traditional approaches whereas in agile less documentation and more customer interaction is involved. Other than that Agile assumes more simplicity, embrace change, enable and focus on the next effort, maximize value, incrementally change, rapid feedback to all the stakeholders, quality deliverable and create documentation based on value (Bonner et al, 2016).…”

Eliciting requirements is one of the key aspects of the software development life cycle. Incorrect determination of the requirements can lead to the failure of the projects. Traditional waterfall method does not accommodate changing requirements easily while agile methodology welcomes the changing requirements even at the later phases of the development life cycle. The aim of the research is to improve the agile requirement elicitation process to ensure quality product is developed that aligns to the organizational strategy and its high value initiatives. Requirement elicitation process within agile projects should consider organisational actor's strategic dependency and rationale to ensure alignment with organisational strategy. We propose to improve the requirement elicitation process by combining i*organizational models with standard Agile-Scrum methodology through a real-life health service provider scenario. The aim of our methodology is to ensure the social aspects of the organizational actor's strategic dependency and rationale are considered. We argue the requirement process could be significantly improved by combining these two aspects; Agile-Scrum methodology will address the requirements through user stories, vision document, epics and i*organizational model will include the social aspects of the organization to reduce the gap between the project goal and organization goal.

“…The values of the agile methodology are based on four pillars [4]: (i) individuals and interactions over processes and tools; (ii) working software over comprehensive documentation; (iii) customer collaboration over contract negotiation; and (iv) responding to change over following a plan. Agile methods were designed to use a minimum of documentation, helping in the flexibility and responsiveness to change, that is, in this methodology, flexibility and adaptability are much more important than planning, unlike the traditional methodology [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Metrics are key elements that can give us valuable information about the effectiveness of agile software development processes, particularly considering the Scrum environment. This study aims to learn about the metrics adopted to assess agile development processes and explore the impact of how the role performed by each member in Scrum contributed to increasing/reducing the perception of the importance of these metrics. The impact of years of experience in Scrum on this perception was also explored. To this end, a quantitative study was conducted with 191 Scrum professionals in companies based in Portugal. The results show that the Scrum role is not a determining factor, while individuals with more years of experience have a higher perception of the importance of metrics related to team performance. The same conclusion is observed for the business value metric of the product backlog and the percentage of test automation in the testing phase. The findings allow for extending the knowledge about Scrum project management processes and their teams, in addition to offering important insights into the implementation of metrics for software engineering companies that adopt Scrum.
