“…Focus group is an empirical method used to obtain feedback from software practitioners on designed models or prototypes. It is a suitable method used to obtain qualitative insights on how approaches or concepts are presented [36]. Focus group method is usually conducted in a semi-structured group session, moderated by a group leader or researcher, held in an informal setting with the purpose of collecting information on a designated topic.…”

In the recent years, Agile is being one of the emerging technologies adopted by numerous organizations. The Agile methods have not received a wide acceptance within the software development organizations (SDOs), but they are also being extensively employed in different fields and environments. Accordingly, new approaches have been proposed by researchers and practitioners based on the Agile context, however, there is scarce and – sometimes - absence of describing the evaluation process of these approaches. Therefore, this paper reports the findings of an extensive literature search on how the new proposed approaches are being evaluated. The narrative review methodology was employed to criticize and summarize a body of literature retrieved from various scientific sources. The results reveal that there are various methods used for evaluating the proposed Agile approaches. Nevertheless, this review focuses on explaining the five common methods, which are: (1) case study, (2) survey, (3) interview, (3) focus group, and (5) expert review. Thereafter, the authors discuss the key findings and highlight directions for future researches. This study tends to help researchers and practitioners to select the suitable evaluation methods when constructing new Agile approaches.

“…Focus group is cost-effective method which has recently gained popularity within the evaluation studies in the SE domain. Moreover, it is adopted to obtain feedback and gather qualitative insights on proposed approaches or designed prototypes [19]. However, case study is an empirical method used to implement and assess proposed frameworks, models, and methods in software development organizations [20].…”

Monitoring software project development is essential to ensure that the project progress is according to budget, schedule, and quality expectations. Currently, Agile Methods (AMs) have received wide recognition within the software engineering (SE) field due to their flexibility and effectiveness. One of the AMs methods used in managing software project development is Kanban method. This method is gaining attention due to its ability to enhance understanding, visibility, and controlling the project workflow. Thus, this paper aims to discuss the initial result of the proposed model for improving the software project monitoring task of the Agile Kanban method (i-KAM). To achieve this aim, the expert review method was used to ensure that suitable components and associated criteria have been included in i-KAM. In this study, six domain experts, which are software practitioners, have been identified based on predefined characteristics. The proposed model was verified based on five dimensions, which are understandability, relevance, feasibility, organization, and comprehensiveness. The experts' opinions and comments were obtained and subsequently quantified by using descriptive analysis. Findings revealed that this study has fulfilled its objective and has acquired constructive suggestions from the practitioners' perspective. Future work will continue to enhance i-KAM according to the recommendations and remarks from the experts. A focus group and case study methods could be conducted in order to validate the revised i-KAM. Besides, a prototype will be developed and then implemented within a real software development setting.

“…Design principles and patterns are introduced over the years. The former provides the fundamental concepts to design a good software (Bräuer et al, 2018), while the latter provides proven solution to recurring problems. When used correctly, design principles and patterns can be used to improve software flexibility.…”
