    Best Practices for Large- Scale Agile Transformations
    (University of Oregon, 2018) Wright, Del
    Agile software development methods were originally designed for small, individual team projects, but have shown potential benefits for larger projects and organizations as well. Concerns exist, however, regarding scalability and complexity when integrating Agile practices in large-scale organizations. Using a review of literature published since 2011, this paper seeks to inform information technology (IT) leaders of large organizations of the challenges and best practices for implementing large-scale Agile transformations.

    Implementing Agile Methodology: Challenges and Best Practices
    (University of Oregon, 2018) Verret, Jeffrey
    Information Technology (IT) projects have a reputation of not delivering business requirements. Historical challenges like meeting cost, quality, and timeline targets remain despite the extensive experience most organizations have managing projects of all sizes. The profession continues to have high profile failures that make headlines, such as the recent healthcare.gov initiative. This research provides literary sources on agile methodology that can be used to help improve project processes and outcomes.

    The Role of Testers in an Agile Software Development Life Cycle within B2B Companies
    (University of Oregon, 2013-02) Thomas, Dwayne
    High software quality is a very important outcome of software development practices for business customers (Mairiza, Zowghi, & Nurmuliani, 2010). This annotated bibliography is developed for software testers who want to improve the quality of software and customer satisfaction in the agile development cycle. Selected references published between 2006 to 2013 are reviewed to examine software quality requirements, appropriate amounts of software tester readiness, test planning, verification of business test cases, and additional testing activities.
