Abstract

Software development is a very complex activity in which the human factor has a paramount importance. Moreover, since this activity requires the collaboration among different stakeholders, coordination problems arise. Different development methodologies address these problems in different ways. Agile Methods address them embedding coordination mechanisms inside the process itself rather than defining the development process on one side and then superimposing coordination through additional practices or tools.
