Interpersonal skills in employees are an important part of technology companies in achieving their goals through the development of skills in their employees. The application of agile methods for application development has been widely carried out by technology companies. The agile method has the main principle of communication between employees, requiring skills to face these principles. The method used in this study is the systematic literature review (SLR) method to know how the use of agile methods can develop interpersonal skills in karyawan. In the initial search conducted using the Publish or Perish application, 740 journals were found in the range of 2015 to 2022. Next, journal filtering and cluster search continued using Microsoft Excel, Zotero, Mendeley, and VOS Viewer applications, resulting in 53 journals selected based on Q1. In the final stage of screening, researchers re-screened 9 journals that were used as a reference regarding the use of agile methods to develop employee interpersonal skills. The results showed that the agile development method can affect the development of employee interpersonal skills. 11 skills develop because of the use of this agile development method including team working, emotional intelligence, negotiation and persuasion, problem-solving, communication skills, conflict resolution, decision making, time management, organizational skills, listening, and relationship building. Of the 11 skills, the most mentioned is team working. Keywords: agile development methods; interpersonal skills; literature review Abstrak: Interpersonal skill pada karyawan menjadi bagian penting bagi perusahaan teknologi dalam mencapai tujuannya melalui berbagai pengembangan keterampilan.

Metode agile memiliki prinsip utama berupa komunikasi antar karyawan sehingga membutuhkan keterampilan untuk menghadapi prinsip-prinsip tersebut. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu metode systematic literature review (SLR) dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pemanfaatan metode agile dapat mengembangkan interpersonal skill pada karyawan. Pada pencarian awal yang dilakukan menggunakan aplikasi Publish or Perish, ditemukan 740 jurnal pada rentang tahun 2015 sampai 2022. Selanjutnya, penyaringan jurnal menggunakan aplikasi Microsoft Excel dan Mendeley Desktop yang menghasilkan 53 jurnal yang dipilih berdasarkan penilaian kualitas. Pada tahap akhir penyaringan, peneliti menyaring kembali menjadi 9 jurnal yang digunakan sebagai acuan mengenai pemanfaatan metode agile untuk mengembangkan interpersonal skills karyawan.

“…Therefore, our motivation was to retain Scrum's ability to deliver the final product on time and budget under the required functionality while enabling projects to be carried out effectively considering the significantly unsystematic project members' participation as well as mercurial internal communication and deliverables provision. Efficiency of project realization is especially important for individuals with more years of experience, as they have a higher perception of the importance of metrics related to Scrum team performance [6]. We reckon that the Scrum framework can be adapted to the successful execution of a wide range of IT projects falling into the 'ad-hoc' category.…”

Restrictive Scrum assumptions make the effectiveness of this approach debatable in projects deviating from typical execution conditions. This article delivers a comprehensive software development approach for both academic and commercial Information Technology (IT) projects effectuated by teams that are hampered by significantly unsystematic participation of project members and mercurial internal communication. The nature of ‘ad-hoc’ projects imposes another level of difficulty in terms of both managing the conduct of such a project and ensuring the quality of the end product. Multicyclic action research enabled a gradual adaptation of the Scrum approach to support such project conditions. This study introduces major alterations to Sprint implementation and minor enhancements within the documentation process to streamline knowledge sharing among Development Team members. Proposed key alterations include the evolution of Daily Scrum towards Weekly Scrum, the possibility of extending Sprints length, the eventuality to switch team members during Sprint due to substantial failure to meet deadlines, having at least two team members responsible for a single Product Backlog Item (PBI) at all times, as well as exclusion of Burndown Chart in favor for Development Team members updating their working time. Positive validation of enhancements in mixed settings confirms that the generic Scrum framework can be adapted to support highly volatile projects. The proposed approach is suitable not only for carrying out software development initiatives that rely heavily on the skills of external experts and/or volunteers. It also supports traditional Scrum teams that seek to reduce their exposure to risk arising from organizational changes.

Tests on software are performed to ensure it has no defects. Software testing companies and organizations claimed that the testing problem increased their time and budget for testing by over 50%. As a result, the product's release is delayed, which attracts customer complaints. Testing involves test cases, which are a vital part of the process. Therefore, quality test cases likely to identify defects and meet users' requirements must be chosen. This paper aims to identify and verify the characteristics, sub-characteristics, and metrics that construct the proposed model for producing high-quality black-box test cases in an Agile Software Development environment. An expert review approach was used to verify the proposed model. Ten academic and six industry experts contributed to this verification. The results showed that six characteristics, 22 sub-characteristics, and 56 metrics are accepted to be included in the proposed model. Furthermore, findings revealed that the proposed model is comprehensive, consistent, relevant, and well-organized for Agile projects.INDEX TERMS Expert review, quality characteristics, software test metrics, test case quality, test case quality assessment.
