Building standard ERP software packages using self-developed agile methodologies

Abstract

In this paper, we will describe the evolution of our software development techniques, and analyze actual methodologies in-depth. These are internally developed and do not refers to any standard, but they are more related to agile methodologies than standard ones. Our development techniques are strictly related to our development process. This process is slightly different from the ones of other small software houses, as we develop standard packages instead of committed projects. This raise a set of development problems, somewhat opposite to traditional committed projects ones, which can be very puzzling for small software houses.
