“…Agile development is a prominent research direction in requirements engineering. Recently, novel advancements in theory have emerged, while abundant practical experience has been obtained in various enterprise operations in the Internet and big data environments [1]. At its core, agile development is a development method that responds to quickly changing user requirements through iterative, small-scale, and rapid development and functionality delivery, ultimately allowing for a rapid response to user requirements and the continuous optimization of function design [2].…”

Agile development processes based on user stories often face issues such as incomplete, inconsistent, and inaccurate user requirements, which increase the workload of agile development teams and reduce the efficiency of product function development, ultimately resulting in the inability to respond quickly to user requirements. This paper proposes a user requirement quality assessment method based on user stories to address these problems. This method relies on the agile development process, constructs a user requirement quality assessment framework, defines a user story model and a user requirement quality model, develops seven user requirement quality assessment criteria, and designs a user requirement quality assessment process. A data experiment exploring the development of smartphone requirements is used to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method. The experimental results demonstrate that the method improves user requirement quality to some extent, providing an automated solution for agile development teams to enhance user requirement quality.

Nowadays, responsiveness is essential to be competitive, particularly in software development. Traditional methods face limitations in meeting this demand for agility, which led to the rise of agile practices. Inspired by their success in small projects, organizations have begun to use agile methods in larger contexts. However, scaling agile practices introduces complexities and requires coordinating teams, managing dependencies, and collaboration. Communities of Practices (CoPs) are argued to address these issues and support organizations in adopting agile methods at scale. Still, empirical insights into the establishment of CoPs in scaled agile settings are limited. This study fills this gap by conducting expert interviews, exploring why organizations applying agile methods at scale adopt CoPs, and examining their characteristics. Our key findings include that, next to benefit from known advantages of CoPs, like knowledge sharing, organizations establish them to foster empowerment, strengthen alignment, and drive their agile transformation. Moreover, CoPs focus not only on agile but also on classical themes such as architecture. Communities are not necessarily established bottom-up but are often initiated by management, e.g., to empower employees. In general, CoPs are accepted by management and play an essential role in decision-making.
