The emergence of agile software development methods provides a contribution to contemporary software engineering practices.Agile methods have several benefits over traditional plan-based methods, in particular their ability to handle projects where requirements are not fixed.In the last few years, a number of agile software development methods have been developed but a detailed evaluation (which is essential) of these methods is not available.This paper presents a detailed comparative analysis of two well known agile methods (Xp and Serum), using the previously published 4-Dimensional Analytical Tool (4-DAT), based onfour characterization perspectives: those of scope, agility, agile values and software process.A report generated with the help of 4-DATwill assist organizations in making decisions about the selection or adoption of an agile method.
