Backlog Factoring : Extension of Task Factoring for Reuse in Scrum Method
Jihong Kim · Journal of Digital Convergence · 2012
Despite agile methods and software reuse being distinct approaches, there has been a growing amount of research on combining these approaches. Although Scrum is one of the most popular agile methods, reuse has not been actively supported. In this paper, we identify a new type of reusable Scrum assets, simplify the backlog process and propose a backlog factoring technique by extending task factoring to support reuse in the Scrum method. In addition, we can apply the proposed technique and show prototyping of backlog reuse in e-business applications.
