Semi-agile approach to software development process

Abstract

Most modern companies realize that the best way to improve stability in the global, rapidly changing world is to be innovating and produce software that will be fully used and appreciated by customers. The key aspect on this road is personnel and processes. One of the best approaches to software development process into follow modern agility techniques. Unfortunately sometimes requirements to execute such are too high although the benefits are also sufficient. The paper proposes that the relaxing of those restrictions in many key aspects formulated as semi-agile technique can improve the level of possible adoption of it without any decrease of acquired benefits. The approach sufficiently differs from the hybrid agile proposals. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media.
