Agile Group – DIEE, Università degli studi di Cagliari Proposal of an Experience Framework for Agile Methodologies

Agile Group – DIEE, Università degli studi di Cagliari The rationale Agile methodologies need validations Scarce literature on Experience Framework (for AMs) Previous few experiences have been troubles to access/manage results -Visek

Agile Group – DIEE, Università degli studi di Cagliari Experience Framework A structure in which share experience, identify common standards for experiment actuation, collecting data and analyzing data, identify metrics and new approaches In order to: validate practices, suggest suitable adoptions, increase knowledge in AMs

Agile Group – DIEE, Università degli studi di Cagliari Experience Framework Create EF for the Agile Methodologies. Some features: –Allowing experiment replications. Replication is fundamental for the consolidation and validation of best practices in every applied discipline. Replication needs a standardization of the experimental process in order to avoid bias –Agile. To be compatible with AMs: repositories continuous integration, experiment replications, easy access, collective information ownership. The consolidated results should be promptly generalized and readily accessible
