Hybrid Adaptive Software Development Capability: An Empirical Study

“…A hybrid adaptive software development capability can be established for a particular organization thorough the integration of agility [1,[19][20][21][22], and traditional people, processes, product, and tool [9] elements. This paper presented the analysis and results of the responses from the 46 research participants that highlighted the important characteristics of agility, people, processes, product, and tool elements of a hybrid adaptive software development capability.…”

“…The ISO/IEC 24744 metamodel [9] describes the key elements of the traditional plan-driven methods in terms of "People", "Process", "Product" and "Tool". Organizations can develop or tailor hybrid adaptive software development capability by combining the following agility [1,[19][20][21][22] and traditional plan-driven elements [9].…”

“…• Agility [1,[19][20][21][22] • People [9] • Process [9] • Product [9] • Tool [9] However, the question is: What are the important underlying characteristics of these five elements? The aim of this paper is get feedback from practitioners on these elements and identify underlying characteristics, which are important for establishing a hybrid adaptive software development capability.…”

“…The priority ranking of the tool characteristics will help and guide the capability engineer to pay special attention to the top ranking tools characteristics when assessing and selecting tools for establishing the hybrid adaptive software development capability. This paper analyzed the agility [1,[19][20][21][22] and traditional plan-driven elements [9] of a hybrid software development capability from 46 practitioners' perspectives. The agility element of a hybrid adaptive capability is described here in terms of agility characteristics, degree of agility, agility adoption and improvement model.…”

“…Organizations can develop or tailor hybrid adaptive software development environment or capability [27] to deal with the challenge of agile at large scale. A hybrid adaptive software development capability can be established by integrating agility, people, process, product and tools elements [7,11,12,19,20,33,34] (e.g. integration of agile and non-agile elements).…”
