Agile transition model based on human factors

Abstract

This paper presents the use of an agile transition model based on human factor in agile environment. The model consists of four agile environment attributes; Individual, Skill, Culture and Team. From the study, only a small number of organizations are successful in adopting agile within a short period while the complete transition may take 2-3 years. Organization takes time to complete the transition due to the challenges faced during the transition. The purpose of the model is to effectively transfer from traditional non-agile to agile. Details given are the process of agile environment attributes were derived and the differences between existing agile transition model are also addressed. The newly proposed agile transition model were discussed and compared with the existing agile transition model. Based on the comparison, most of the existing model covers two or three of t agile environment attributes whereas the newly proposed agile transition model is to direct all the agile environment attributes.
