Tiivistelmä
Agile software development method is considered as an essential for software companies, bringing critical benefits. The adoption and implementation of agile software development method enable organizations to adapt to the dramatically changing business environment.
This thesis aims at investigating the adoption practices of agile development methods in companies in Vietnam, with three main goals. The first one is to explore the reasons and motivations determining the adoption of agile development methods. Secondly, this study examines the adoption process within software companies in Vietnam. Lastly, the thesis identifies the obstacles associated with the agile development adoption process.
The deductive approach, the qualitative research method, and the semi-structured interview are employed to conduct the research on the agile development adoption of selected case companies in Vietnam. A comparison of empirical evidence and existing literature was made to find answers for the research questions. Also, new themes which emerged from the data were identified as the generalization for multiple cases.
The research results indicate the reasons for adopting agile software development, the adoption process, and the obstacles occurring during the adoption in software companies in Vietnam. The biggest motivation for the adoption is the limitations of the old development process of the companies. Besides, the most challenging obstacles are the staff knowledge, the team cooperation and communication, and the management issue. Additionally, the authors discovered the common adoption process of the companies in Vietnam, containing four stages, namely decision, planning, training and experimentation.
