Applying Method Engineering Techniques to the Construction of Agile Methodologies

软件开发的敏捷方法在方法中提供了灵活性，但对改进所选方法没有帮助。 这第二种灵活性对于允许组织随着时间的推移而改进很重要。为了实现这样的改进，方法工程的方法，提出了敏捷方法建设使用开放过程框架，其中包括一个元模型和方法组件的集合，存储在一个存储库。 在与Eagle Datamation International的合作中，我们将设计出构建适合其业务需求的敏捷方法的方法，然后在实践中对其进行评估，并随着方法的发展和改进进行监控。

Agile approaches to software development provide flexibility within the method but provide no assistance for improving the selected method. This second kind of flexibility is important to permit organizations to improve with time. To accomplish such improvement, a method engineering approach is proposed for agile method construction using the OPEN Process Framework, which consists of a metamodel and a collection of method components, stored in a repository. In collaboration with Eagle Datamation International, we will devise methods of constructing an agile method tailored to their business needs and then evaluate it in practice, monitoring as the method evolves and improves.
