Abstract

The Agile movement is a phenomenon that is part of the next phase of the software engineering evolution. At the same time, globally distributed software development is another trend delivering high-quality software to global users at lower costs. In this paper, Agile Framework for Distributed Software Development (AFDSD) has been suggested, and Chameleon project of Yahoo! Inc. has been implemented based on the framework. Also, the project has been evaluated by measuring Agile adoption and improvement levels, degrees of agility and agile project success, and comparing the performance and quality with the previous version. The overall performance and satisfaction with Chameleon increased by more than 30% since Agile techniques were adopted. Our objective is to highlight successful practices and suggest a framework to support adoption and evaluation of Agile techniques in a distributed environment.

본 논문에서는 글로벌 IT 업계의 현실적인 대안으로 부상하고 있는 분산 스크럼 전략과 최적화된 애자일 기법을 사용하여 애자일 소프트웨어 분산 개발 프레임워크(AFDSD)를 제안하였다. AFDSD를 미국 야후사의 카멜레온 프로젝트에 실제 적용하고 종합적인 평가를 수행한 결과, 그 성능과 만족도가 30% 이상 향상되었다. 또한, 개발 조직의 애자일 도입 수준 평가, 프로세스와 프랙티스의 민첩도 산출, 애자일 프로젝트 성공도 산출 및 이전 버전과의 생산성과 품질 비교를 수행함으로써 애자일 프로젝트에 대한 새로운 평가 모델을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 실제 성공적인 적용사례를 통해 그 효율성이 검증된 분산 애자일 전략을 반영한 소프트웨어 개발 및 평가 모델을 제공함으로써 일반 업체들이 각자의 프로젝트 환경에 맞게 변형하여 손쉽게 적용 가능하도록 하는 것이다.
