Title:Agile Large-Scale Software Development: Success Factors, Challenges and Solutions
Author Name:Amro Mohammad Hani Al-Said Ahmad
Synopsis:
Many challenges and obstacles have been arising when Agile methods are being used in large-scale projects. But as software engineers, we always try to find ways to overcome the problems and challenges. As Agile has been presented as a very good method that deals with change (that considers a big and serious challenge in traditional SE methodologies) it must not be ignored by project managers and team leaders in large-scale projects. This study presents a number of recommendations and solution that highlights on using modern communications technologies and social media websites in the process of maintaining the element of permanent connection between the team members, and it helps sharing the domain knowledge between team members to deal with social skills, Agile training, documentation, decision making, and testing. The study has been divided into three main subjects: first is how to gain success in largescale projects and how to gain success attributes upon using Agile method, the second is the challenges faced upon using Agile in the global distributed environment project, the third is to suggest a recommendation to overcome each challenge that certainly will help the project manager to deal if any challenge occurs.
