Published:28 March 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

Agile development has been gaining momentum over the year. It practices are perceived by some to be the best for software development. This work investigates agile best development and managerial practices, specially the benefits for optimizing the development process. Throughout this work, real-world scenarios were considered to give suggestions and recommendations for using agile best practices for software projects. Furthermore, this work highlights how managerial problems can be overcome with agile practices. Best practices that do not work in certain scenarios and other challenges are also discussed.
