The software industry used software development lifecycle (SDLC) to design, develop, produce high quality, reliable and cost-effective software products. To develop an application, project team used some methodology which may include artifacts and pre-defining specific deliverables. There are different SDLC process models such as waterfall, iterative, spiral and agile model available to develop a quality product. In this paper we focus only on agile software development model, and Scrum model and their techniques. There are many papers and books written on agile methodologies. We will also use their knowledge in this paper. To collect data for comparison of agile method with software quality affecting factors, an online questionnaire survey was conducted. The survey sample consisted of software developers with several years of industry experience using agile methodologies. The main purpose of this study is to compare software quality affecting factors with agile and scrum model.

Framework: Management of the software development project changes daily and increases day to day. Major benefits that attract firms to develop software some are a reduction on cost, delivery time reduction, the quality improvement well definition of the process, resource allocation and improvement in documentation. However, several problems have been documented in different methods of software development projects. But these problems can be solved by the use of agile practices. SCRUM is an agile methodology used to manage and control work during the development stages. The present documentation presents the comprehensive outward look of the effectiveness of scrum in the management of software development projects. This research aimed at exploring the extent to which this method is more effective than other methods. The focus of this paper is on the effectiveness of the stated method in accordance with real-life examples. Aims and Objectives: In the scope of the dissertation investig...

Scrum is the result of evolution in product development originating from the Japanese management system and process improvement (kaizen) and the Toyota production system from middle of the 20th century. However, Scrum is not the end result but a constant evolution. The purpose of this paper is an attempt to add new knowledge to this evolution. There are numerous alternatives to Scrum process and rules, commonly called hybrids. It is important to be aware that one approach or process cannot be a solution for every software development project. The key is to find a balance between the processes and the people, policies and the principles, as well as focus on long-term or short-term goals, etc. This problem is one of the biggest challenges widely discussed in present-day scientific and industrial communities.

Abstract: Today‘s business, political and economic environment is very much dynamic, and customers are adapting their software requirements to adjust with these new environment. In particular software needs to cater to the change in business environment due to the current economic down trend situation.

Software development methodologies is the process of dividing the software development process into different phases in order to achieve better greater planning and management of the software. For developing software's there consists of many methodologies available But Agile Methodology is one of the methods which were introduced to meet the customer's new requirements for developing software product. This paper is going to survey about the comparative analysis of agile software which contains different kinds of agile methodologies. Some of them are Scrum, Kaban, Extreme Programming, Lean, Feature Driven Development (FDD), Adaptive Software Development (ASD) and Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), etc. and describes about the differences between them and recommends where to use and when to use. According to recent survey there were nearly 14 different Kanban boards were available and also the survey explains how the features are represented in the boards and it was compared with 22 software tools for implementing them to virtual Kanban boards, for analyzing there sources available on the web.

There are quite a few up-to-date and every so habitually used Agile style but among those Scrum, Kanban and XP (Extreme Programming) are generally the most mutual. On instance, organizations use typically tools and techniques from any but rather a lot they use roughly of the amalgamations of those approaches. Devouring in cognizance that those approaches are just a framework they allow firms to adapt it for their particular tasks as well as for other limits. Scrum, Kanban, and XP frameworks manage and deal with the advancement of Software Development. These frameworks are utilized in various circumstances and work processes. Subsequently, they are compelling for various Agile collaborators and tasks in different circumstances. However, the utilization of a wrong approach or practice prompts Software System Development procedures that are unbendable and inefficient, affecting the association and instigating wasteful advancement. Incorporators of Scrum, Kanban, XP trust that the erroneous performs of these frameworks remain hazardous and in this manner, Agile workmates ought to be aided in their basic leadership. The idea of this paper is to decide the fundamental variables to ruminate amid the determination of Scrum, XP and Kanban frameworks. The recognizable proof of elements was directed over a top to bottom audit of the essential task, subsequently, the documents scrutiny was utilized in the investigation concerning information. By way of found, system recommendation, people, and tasks, adoption phase, team capacity, group stature, prioritizing of requirements, functionality scope, prime interval, operational observes, budget, and eminence were the primary aspects that lead Agile coworkers in preference Scrum, XP or Kanban and in accumulation their practices. This paper portrays a strategy to perform inspections on Agile approaches, in view of an arrangement of important highlights and characteristics.

This paper is a review research about the features of the agile and heavy (traditional) software development methodologies and comparisons between them based on: Investment and Team Size. The important difference between agile and heavy methodologies is the adaptability for project changes. In agile methodologies changes do easily but heavy methodologies are static and do not adapt with changes. Also in this paper there are the usage of each groups of methodologies and how can work two groups together. In addition, some types of heavy and agile methodologies have been described.

As agile software development becomes a trend, Lots of organizations are using the agile methodology for better life cycle of product development. To achieve the quality product methods needs to be the more structured definition of what agile methodologies is and what is the better level of its maturity. Traditional development methodologies rely on documents and process defined and used from one analyst to the next. SCRUM has some key challenges to use it. First customer’s goals are set without the knowledge of their requirements and needs. The client’s requirements are not be good enough from the need perspective. Then, given the fact that a client thinks in terms of the minimum organizational set of features in a just-in-time process.
