Noruwana, Nimrod Tanner, Maureen Informations Systems Includes bibliographical references (leaves 81-90). Before organisations adopt agile methods, they need to ensure that they are prepared for the change. They also need to understand the problems they are trying to address by adopting agile methods. Agile methods deviate substantially from traditional methods of systems development (Tolfo & Wazlawick, 2008). This, therefore, makes it difficult for organisations to adopt agile methods even though they might see them attractive, as the adoption of such methods has an effect on organisational culture. If the culture cannot accommodate an agile approach, then the organisation will not be able to adopt agile (Lindvall, Basisli, Boehm, Costa, Dangle, Shull, Teseriero, Williams & Zelkowitz, 2002). Having a culture that is conducive to the adoption of agile methods is almost unanimously perceived by agile experts to be a necessary factor for the introduction of agile methodologies (eWorkshop, 2002). It is also important to understand the phases organisations go through during the process of adopting agile methods. 2015-01-07T13:38:45Z 2015-01-07T13:38:45Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11708 eng application/pdf Department of Information Systems Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
