Agile Software Development: Adaptive Systems Principles and Best Practices
Peter Nelson Meso, Radhika Jain · Information Systems Management · 2006
Today's environments of increasing business change require software development methodologies that are more adaptable. This article examines how complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory can be used to increase our understanding of how agile software development practices can be used to develop this capability. A mapping of agile practices to CAS principles and three dimensions (product, process, and people) results in several recommendations for “best practices” in systems development.
