“…Agile development is a development process that adheres to the concepts of agile manifesto. The agile software development focuses over delivering values faster, with greater quality and predictability, and greater adaptability to respond to changed customer requirements [25][26][27]. Agile software development focusses over customer involvement at a higher level and also includes reviews from the project development team and the customer at regular intervals.…”

Agile development has proven its benefits over traditional software life cycle development models for more than a decade. Through offering agility as responsiveness to change, its practitioners maintain flexibility to accommodate change even at later stage of development process and simultaneously depict progress through iterative development. This scope creep and rapidly emerging market needs is placing more stringent constraints on agile projects in terms of meeting timelines, containing cost and adhering to quality. Though methodologies offered by agile have spawned several practices that are claimed to be efficacious, but still empirical validation and evolvement of them is required before adopting them as is for any project. This paper proposes and provides the design of a new methodology named as "Eclectic Agile Methodology". The key concept of eclectic methodology is to provide numerous advantages to mid and large scale organizations through enabling them to utilize novel and efficient ways of processes, tools and validations to assess the vast benefits before choosing any methodology upfront. The inspiration for designing this methodology is to address and overcome various untouched challenges in the current existing agile methodologies like but not limited to tightly coupling with upstream and downstream applications, sprint encountering frequent unplanned severity 1 issues which need immediate attention, shared hosted environments along with schema, dependencies outside the project, cross track impacts and distributed team.

“…Jeffrey [15] and Moniruzzaman et al [16] introduced an introductions and overviews of agile software development and its methodologies, where their reports were summarized as the following, agile software development includes several methodologies that share common characteristics: iterative, adaptive (responding to the requirement changes), incremental, self-organizing team, fast delivering a high-quality software, and collaboration of the customer. In [3] by Markus et al agile software development methodologies have been investigated whether these methodologies have a positive impact on the satisfaction of the customers in case of dynamic requirements. The study emphasized that agile software development methodologies have a significant impact on improving the customer satisfaction positively.…”

“…Agile methodologies gained the attention in the field of software development where it is tailored to: manage the dynamic requirements, meet the customer satisfaction, and deliver the product in a way that suits the customer demands with the required quality [1][2], which in turn lead to achieve the aim of the software industry. The agile methodologies such as Scrum, Lean and Kanban have effective effect in the field of software engineering especially in software development [3].…”

Agile software development methodologies gaining the attention in the field of software engineering. There are several methods of agile such as Scrum, Lean, and Kanban. Scrum methodology divides the product into series of sprints. Lean is agile toolkit which has seven principles that facilitate: eliminating the wastes, delivering fast, and improving value for the final customer. Kanban is a visual method that can help in managing the production. To take the advantages of the following methodologies: Lean, Scrum, and Kanban we can integrate them together thus, the result will be a new methodology that can contribute in enhancing and improving the efficiency of the software development process, which is the aim of this thesis. An integrated methodology that integrating Scrum, Kanban, and Lean methodologies to yield a comprehensive agile methodology called L-ScrumBan has been proposed. The validation of the proposed methodology has been done through a survey by using a questionnaire; the survey results confirmed the efficiency of the proposed methodology.

“…Scrum is very suitable for software product development while Kanban is suitable for information and work flow management for regular production industries but still flow based approach of Kanban is more convenient than time boxed approach of Scrum [27] ; as procedural system flow reduces software failure by highlighting issues immediately [35] . The combination of Scrum and Lean based Kanban has been found very effective in Software Engineering Management [31] .…”

Software Engineering (SE) technologies are emerging day by day and seeking ABPR (Agile Business Process Reengineering) for Software Engineering Management (SEM) frameworks in software development organizations. BPR can enable organizational capabilities to initiate and implement critical change in execution. Under the roof of agile and on the base of empiricism, the Scrum has been proven itself as an ABPR approach for software engineering management in the software development organizations, across the world, by improving productivity, self-organization and collaboration for standard software development processes. Scrum has been leading software project development practices using its own characteristics: Artifacts, Pillars, Values, Events and Roles. But still software project development organizations are facing some issues with their software project development and management processes, like no documentation policy which results into inaccurate estimation, internal states of each work item flowing through the Scrum Board, Sprint tracker and prediction towards goal achievement which can be considered as challenges for Scrum due its limitations as well as Scrum does not allow, any alteration in its rules. Such issues have raised a question against implementation of Scrum and have opened the door for the next level of research to answer the question, how to overcome the limitations of Scrum. Kanban can provide the solution to some of these issues but it can’t provide complete SEM solutions to software Development Organizations. The aim of this research study is empirical analysis about how the formation of hybrid framework Scrumban as an integration of Scrum with Kanban, can resolve challenges of Scrum; using literature reviews, case study reviews, and research surveys; and this research has proposed a conceptual customized Scrumban framework, by keeping Kanban in the center of customization under the bound of Scrum rules. This research also concludes limitations of Scrumban, like project documentation, planning, large scaled project, distributed environment, team capabilities etc.; as each method has its own limitations.
