Combining of kanban and scrum means with programmable queues in designing of software intensive systems

Abstract

The existing problem of the extremely low level of the success in developments of software intensive systems (SISs) is a reason for the ongoing search for innovations in software engineering. One of the promising areas of the search is a continuous improvement of agile methods of the project management the most popular of which are bound with Kanban and Scrum approaches. The paper presents the way of combining the Kanban and Scrum means with the programmable queues of project tasks that are implementing by designers in the real-time. In any queue, its elements present the states of the corresponding tasks in their conceptually-algorithmic solutions. Interactions of designers with queues provide the parallel and pseudo parallel work with tasks. Such way-of-working promotes increasing the reliability of operational planning. The specialized toolkit WIQA (Working In Questions and Answers) supports the offered version of the project management.
