Transition from Conventional to Agile Process Model an Experience Report

Abstract

Software process standards and models provide best set of practices and guidelines to improve the quality of the software process and products resulting from that process. These software models however, do not advise following a particular software development methodology, and consequently, software development teams face problems with respect to compliance between the selected process development strategy and the one actually pursued. In this report, the current software process models used in academia and their transition to newer, more advanced models are studied. The main focus although, is on transition from the hugely popular process model followed in academia, Waterfall model to Agile model.
