Abstract

Agile software development has been a significant methodology in software engineering for over two decades, offering enhanced adaptability to software requirement changes, improved delivery, and better quality. However, prevalent misunderstandings in Agile implementation have limited its benefits. Hence, this study investigates the challenges faced during Agile implementation. Initial analysis was carried out from cases in Indonesia, a leading country in the software industry within the Asia-Pacific region. Using Kitchenham’s systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, fourteen distinct obstacles were identified from a database of research reports on Agile software development in Indonesia. Subsequent interviews with Agile experts in the country were conducted to validate the SLR findings. The results emphasize the critical need for a top-down strategic approach, the active participation of senior management, and the essential roles of competent scrum masters or Agile coaches. A comparative analysis with reports from other developing countries Saudi Arabia, India, Malaysia, Brazil and developed countries the UK, Belgium, Singapore, and the USA reveals common challenges. They highlight the imperative for proactive upper management leadership to steer successful Agile adoptions, particularly in organizations with entrenched top-down practices and complex hierarchical systems.

Abstract

PT XYZ is financial technology company and operates in Southeast Asia. PT XYZ uses Kanban with more than 300 product and engineering employees with more than 20 teams. There are problems in software development, such as non standards in large scale Kanban practices used, communication between teams and dependencies between teams. Scaling Agile based on CMMI is a method that can be used to help identify problems in large-scale software companies where team-level Agile alone is not enough. The study discusses the evaluation of Kanban implementation at PT XYZ and recommendations for improving the software development process using Scaling Agile based on CMMI 2. The research uses qualitative data where interviews were conducted with Product Owners, Engineering Managers and Software Engineers. The results of the interviews were processed using the Key Process Area (KPA) rating. Finally, investigation produced 10 recommendations for the implementation of Kanban at PT XYZ.
