Improvisation in Software Processes
Conducted an empirical study of software engineers to investigate the extent to which they follow a software process via a planned path, in comparison to the extent that they take detours when required by circumstances.
User Stories in Practice
Compared user stories (a requirements gathering technique of Extreme Programming) and other agile methodologies, as they are described in the literature with user stories as they are actually practiced in industry. Analyzed the effectiveness of user stories for gathering requirements. My responsibilities included conducting interviews with agile practitioners from the industry, and making changes in a web application that manages user stories. In addition, I am participating as an on-site customer providing agile requirements, and playing the planning game with an undergraduate class.
