PIERRA FUENTES, Allan et al. Adoption of an Agile culture in the development of Internet application projects in Cuba. RCCI [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.4, pp. 18-34.  Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 2227-1899.

Agile methodologies have gained wide acceptance and application in software development, they were created as an alternative to traditional methodologies in order to minimize the bureaucratic burden that they impose in the development of small and medium-scale projects. Agile methodologies, unlike traditional ones, are adaptive for each type of process and are oriented to people and not to processes. This transformation requires, more than the adoption of new methodologies, a change in behavior and mentality throughout the organization, this implies that it needs to change its culture to become more agile. In this paper, it is explored how a small software development team, in the university environment of the University of Informatics Sciences, adopts a collaborative approach to develop an agile culture based on a set of tools to help its transformation, for work with major business clients. Scrum, Kanban and the Spotify Engineering Model have been the techniques used. Based on the case study, generic solution strategies are extracted to adapt the method.

Keywords : Agile methods; Scrum; Kanban; Spotify model; Self-management; Software teams.
