An empirical study to understand the effect of the awareness of Agile and Lean Software Development Life Cycle on factors to reduce the time taken for product development
Keywords:
leagile, fast delivery, cross tabulationAbstract
Every firm today strives to deliver its products on time. Delay in delivery not only affects the organizations goodwill but also can affect its client base. During our extensive literature survey, we found that the small firms frequently are not able to deliver their software on time. To understand this better, we performed a questionnaire survey, which revealed three major factors contributing to the delay. Over engineering, impediment to innovation and lack of essential documentation; were the four factors identified. These four factors were subjected to cross tabulation. As agile and lean development practices are implemented, the time spent on features which are not necessary is reduced, and documentation is also brought down to bare minimum. However, working on new ideas is not encouraged and is not taken in an open-minded setup. This work can be extended to determine the impact of these factors on different phases of software development.
