Abstract
Agile methods are largely used in software intensive companies in all over the world [1-3]. It seems that the use of agile methods have a high impact on the skills that are needed in software development [4]. For instance, in agile context, developers need to have capabilities to communicate all the information and continuously work as a part of the social teams (communication and agile [5]).
