Empirical investigation on agile methods usage: issues identified from early adopters in Malaysia

Agile Methods are a set of software practices that can help to produce products faster and at the same time deliver what customers want. Despite the benefits that Agile methods can deliver, however, we found few studies from the Southeast Asia region, particularly Malaysia. As a result, less emp...

We conducted a qualitative study to understand the issues faced by early adopters in Malaysia where Agile methods are still relatively new.

Our study has shown that social and human aspects are important when using Agile methods.
