FACTOR ANALYSIS: INVESTIGATING IMPORTANT ASPECTS
                                                  FOR AGILE ADOPTION IN MALAYSIA
                                                                   {ala08r, amg, gbw} @ ecs.soton.ac.uk

Factor Analysis revealed important aspects for adopting Agile methods in Malaysia. Organisational aspects and software developers’
involvement, cultural and people-related aspects were identified as the top factors to be considered when using Agile methods. The
adopters in this study were found to be from mixed-race teams and are using English in their daily business, thus proving Agile can be
practiced with different races in a team. The analysis also showed that language aspect should not be undermined when using Agile
methods. This can help as a guidelines for software practitioners in a region and country which the information and studies about the
methods are still lacking.

  • 1. FACTOR ANALYSIS: INVESTIGATING IMPORTANT ASPECTS FOR AGILE ADOPTION IN MALAYSIA {ala08r, amg, gbw} @ ecs.soton.ac.uk WHAT WE LEARNED Factor Analysis revealed important aspects for adopting Agile methods in Malaysia. Organisational aspects and software developers’ involvement, cultural and people-related aspects were identified as the top factors to be considered when using Agile methods. The adopters in this study were found to be from mixed-race teams and are using English in their daily business, thus proving Agile can be practiced with different races in a team. The analysis also showed that language aspect should not be undermined when using Agile methods. This can help as a guidelines for software practitioners in a region and country which the information and studies about the methods are still lacking.
