A survey of agile software development methodologies in Ecuador

Abstract:

Agile methodologies have been increasingly used in software development projects worldwide. However, there is little information about the adoption of these methodologies in Latin America. In this paper, we present a study conducted in Ecuador about the use, usefulness and causes of stop using agile methodologies in medium and large organizations. The results show that a considerable percentage of professionals do not receive formal training before adopting agile methodologies, and that a high percentage of organizations, especially public, decide to abandon its use. However, private companies from the Banking sector are the ones that keep using agile.
