Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Despite the widespread adoption of agile software development methods (ASDMs) today, many organizations struggle with effective implementation. One reason for this is that some organizations claim to use an ASDM without fully understanding its core principles, or they adhere to old practices while professing to follow a contemporary software development method. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to by practitioners as “cargo cult” (CC) behavior. However, simply labeling something as CC lacks analytical depth.
