Agile methods have become a very popular approach to managing
the development process after the release of the Manifesto for
Agile Software Development. These methods were originally
created for
small development teams. In recent years, however, they have
also begun to work in large companies working on major
projects. In these companies work several development teams on
the same product and communication and coordination is
important. There
are new problems, but the solution is not covered by the agile
manifesto. In this case, the company can find its own way to
manage its activity, or implement one of the frameworks that
are created for this purpose. Surveys show that there is a lack
of
knowledge as one of the main challenges for new companies in
agile development.
This thesis examines the available scaling frameworks
and makes a series of recommendations for an enterprise that
wants to transform into agile development and provides
sufficient information to successfully transition. This goal is
achieved first by studying the five most widely used scaling
frameworks, then by observing a company that has already
successfully passed the agile transformation. On the basis of
this informations, which is further supported by findings
from case studies from scientific papers, recommendations are
made to help the adaptating company significantly. At the end
of the thesis, there are suggested solutions for the
enterprise, which
was used as a case study in this work.
