Abstract

Multi-agent modeling has evolved in multiple disciplines of research and development. While choosing between traditional and agile based software development process, we have proposed scrum methodology using multi-agent system to meet the requirements of stakeholders. Scrum process as well as facilitates key stakeholders of the project to save their lessons learnt during the development of their products. We have implemented multi-agent modelling to extract meta-data; Nouns and Verbs to structure a team for task distribution. With the help of task distribution, we are motivated to construct a system that estimates the cost of development for project using scrum methodology. We have devised a framework that shows partial implementation that takes an input of single SRS document and produces the expected results.
