“…Furthermore, publications in agile SE converge on that agile methods get "more done with less" [10], [15], [20]. More specifically, in our earlier systematic review [17], we found that agile literature sources agree that business value is considered the key requirements prioritization criterion in most agile projects.…”

Business value is a key concept in agile software development. This paper presents results of a case study on how business value and its creation is perceived in the context of agile projects. Our overall conclusion is that the project participants almost never use an explicit and structured approach to guide the value creation throughout the project. Still, the application of agile methods in the studied cases leads to satisfied clients. An interesting result of the study represents the fact that the agile process of many projects differs significantly from what is described in the agile practitioners' books as best practices. The key implication for research and practice is that we have an incentive to pursue the study of value creation in agile projects and to complement it by providing guidelines for better client's involvement, as well as by developing structured methods that will enhance the value-creation in a project.

“…However after a certain moment in time it would also start to accelerate at a faster rate, since going beyond a certain point in time without a new version would test customers' patience. Th ese ideas are in fact confi rmed by the real world data [14] and thus this change will be a good candidate for an improved model.…”

Abstract:Pair programming has received a lot of attention from both industry and academia, but most paper focus on its technical aspects, while its business value has received much less attention. In this paper, we focus on the business aspects of pair programming, by using a number of software development related met rics, such as pair speed advantage, module breakdown structure of the software and project value discount rate, and augmenting them by taking into account the cost of change after the initial product release and inherent non-linearity of the discount rate curves. The proposed model allows for a more realistic estimation of the fi nal project value, and the results of System Dynamics simulations demonstrate some useful insights for software development management.

“…Traditionally, software development is formulated with metrics that view projects that are structured in sequences of stages [2] , [37] . Financial frameworks and models do exist for Agile, however they need to be commonly embraced if Agile is to become more widely integrated into business strategy [38] .…”

IntroductionFor many organizations, limited budgets and phased funding restrict the development of digital health tools. This problem is often exacerbated by the ever-increasing sophistication of technology and costs related to programming and maintenance. Traditional development methods tend to be costly and inflexible and not client centered. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of Agile software development and outcomes of a three-phase mHealth program designed to help young adult Quebecers quit smoking.MethodsIn Phase I, literature reviews, focus groups, interviews, and behavior change theory were used in the adaption and re-launch of an existing evidence-based mHealth platform. Based on analysis of user comments and utilization data from Phase I, the second phase expanded the service to allow participants to live text-chat with counselors. Phase II evaluation led to the third and current phase, in which algorithms were introduced to target pregnant smokers, substance users, students, full-time workers, those affected by mood disorders and chronic disease.ResultsData collected throughout the three phases indicate that the incremental evolution of the intervention has led to increasing numbers of smokers being enrolled while making functional enhancements. In Phase I (240 days) 182 smokers registered with the service. 51% (n = 94) were male and 61.5% (n = 112) were between the ages of 18–24. In Phase II (300 days), 994 smokers registered with the service. 51% (n = 508) were male and 41% (n = 403) were between the ages of 18–24. At 174 days to date 873 smokers have registered in the third phase. 44% (n = 388) were male and 24% (n = 212) were between the ages of 18–24.ConclusionsEmerging technologies in behavioral science show potential, but do not have defined best practices for application development. In phased-based projects with limited funding, Agile appears to be a viable approach to building and expanding digital tools.
