摘要: Agile methods have emerged and become popular over last few years as a response to shortcomings of the waterfall process model. However, agile processes are stamped by some chaotic placed in opposition approaches. This paper uses edge chaos concept from complex adaptive systems theory theoretical lens analyse roles structure planning software development process. The two teams major IT company, on whom other approach, presented project each is highlighted then compared. Our research finds that essential take different forms Contrary belief may be we conclude it possible method due prescribed rather than effective structures.
