Resumen:
Nowadays the software industry is applying agile methods widely. However, there appears to be a lack of comprehensive guidelines and strategies addressing agile adoption. In addition, agile methods and practices often have to be tailored to be integrated into existing processes. In this study, agile adoption frameworks and strategies discussed in the literature, especially in the context of agile in the large, are analysed. The findings from the literature are validated by and compared to an industrial inventory. Based on the validation and the comparison, new approaches for agile adoption in large settings have been identified: incremental agile adoption approaches combining both bottom-up and top-down strategies; the important role of identified key practices that enable quick feedback and adaptation in the early adoption stages; and approaches derived from the multidimensional nature of agility. These approaches make possible to overcome the restrictions of conventional agile methods.
