Scaling Agile Adoption Motivators from Management Perspective: An Analytical Hierarchy Process Approach

Agile methodology has been noted as the mostly used method for software development over the past few years. This methodology guarantees the rapid delivery of software products with lower cost and greater customer contentment. The adoption of agile methods was initially applied in the software devel...

The findings of this study are further reviewed and validated by the agile experts in other organizations. The proposed priority-based taxonomy of motivators can be used as a handbook that gives guidelines on scalability of agile methodologies to large projects, which helps in successful management of large-scale projects.Rooh Ullah JanMuhammad UsmanMuhammad Faisal AbrarNajeeb UllahMuhammad AsshadSikandar AliHindawi LimitedarticleComputer softwareQA76.75-76.765ENScientific Programming, Vol 2021 (2021)
