Abstract
Agile methods are welcomed by software community in recent years. The move from traditional methods to agile methods is not straightforward. Software organizations need assistance to achieve transition from traditional software development approaches to agile approaches and to improve their agile capability. During the last few years several agile maturity models/frameworks are developed to guide organizations in agile process improvement and agile adoption. In this study, we assess the strengths and weaknesses of agile maturity models/frameworks from agile process assessment and agile process improvement perspectives. To assess the models we have applied the models in a selected software organization. We discuss the strengths and weakness of each model and provide suggestions for their utilization.
