In this paper, we present AgilityMod that we developed with the purpose of identifying agility levels of software development projects, indicating agility gaps and providing roadmaps to organizations in adopting agile principles/practices. AgilityMod shares the meta-model structure of ISO/IEC 15504, software process assessment model, however, it differentiates from ISO/IEC 15504 in terms of its process architecture, process descriptions and description of other model elements. In this paper, we focus on the structure of the Model and describe the development stages of the Model. In addition, we briefly present a multiple case study that included eight cases, which was conducted to identify applicability and suitability of the Model.

Using feature models for reusability in agile methods Jedyk, Marcin; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2011) The approach proposed in this thesis contributes to implementing source code reuse and re-engineering techniques for agile software development. This work includes an introduction to feature models and some of the Feature Oriented Software Development (FOSD) practices to achieve a lightweight way of retrieving source code. A Feature model created during the course of following FOSD practices serves as an additional layer of documentation which represents the problem space for the developed application. This...
Application of a software agility assessment model - AgilityMod in the field Özcan Top, Özden (2019-02-01) Adoption of agile values and principles and transformation of organizations towards agility are not easy and straightforward. Misinterpretation of agile principles and values, and adoption of partial solutions with few agile practices instead of holistic approaches prevent organizations to obtain full benefits of agile methods. We developed the Software Agility Assessment Reference Model (AgilityMod) for the appraisal of software projects from agility perspective and to provide guidance on specifying gaps o...
Assessment of Agility in Software Organizations with a Web-Based Agility Assessment Tool Adali, Onat Ege; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirors, Onur (2017-09-01) Agile software development approaches have emerged to overcome the inherent challenges of the traditional software development methodologies. With that in mind, they offer a set of simple yet effective practices based on the values and supporting principles of the Agile Manifesto. Today, more and more organizations are practicing Agile but transitioning to Agile is not as straightforward as it might seem. The benefits afforded by the agile values, principles and practices are not fully obtained and adapters...
Evaluation of Agility Assessment Tools: A Multiple Case Study Adali, Onat Ege; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirors, Onur (2016-06-10) Agile software development has been one of the most important paradigms of software engineering community. Agile methods that are shaped around Agile Manifesto and principles, provide promising results when applied properly in software organizations. Agile assessment models and tools have potential to indicate agile adoption problems at project level or organization level. In the scope of this study, we identified 37 agility assessment tools. Among those tools, we evaluated 11 agility assessment tools based...
An Agile business process software development methodology Çulha, Davut; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) An agile business process software development methodology is proposed, developed and tested in this research. To speed up the business process software development practices in the organization and to address the requirements more efficiently, an agile approach was adapted. Two new processes were developed using the new methodology. The improvement was assessed by utilizing nine older developments: A formula was developed in this research that estimates the development efforts for old business process soft...
