Tailoring Agile in the Large

Abstract

This manuscript describes a technique to perform comparisons on agile methods, based on a set of relevant features and attributes. This set includes attributes related to four SWEBOK Knowledge Areas (KAs) and to the Agile Manifesto principles. With this set of attributes, by analyzing the practices proposed by each method, we are able to assess (1) the coverage degree for the considered KAs and (2) the agility degree.
