| Summary: | Agile methods are an established process for
developing software nowadays. There is, however, less evidence
on their usage among software practitioners in Malaysia. While
the methods have become mainstream in other regions, that is
not the case in this country. This paper investigates important
aspects in relation to Agile usage in Malaysia. The study was
conducted using a questionnaire with 207 software practitioners
from the country. Non parametric analysis (Chi-Square test) was
conducted to investigate the relationship of Agile usage with (i)
language, (ii) place of education and (iii) organization types.
Results showed Agile usage has significant association with the
two aspects; (i) language and (ii) organization types. It is
suggested that these two aspects must be taken into consideration
if one organization plans to adopt the methods. The results also
revealed that many of the Agile users are not being exposed to the
method before they start using it. We aim to provide knowledge
and evidence on the suitability of Agile methods to the people in
the country and nearby region. |
