An Exploration into Hybrid Agile Development Approach
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide a review of the different hybrid agile models. This study raised the question “what are the types of hybrid agile models and their features”? The systematic review was done using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Model for comprehensive searching. Scopus is used as the database for searching articles. A total of 131 papers related to agile and hybrid agile models were retrieved and finally after screening and filtering, only 26 papers were included in the study. This paper probes into the features of agile and hybrid agile models and thus recommends hybrid agile models as one of the best-suited models in software development due to several reasons. Some of the reasons are due to its comprehensiveness in managing a large-scale project with good documentation and developing better methods for business analysis. This paper concludes by providing insight into the different types of hybrid agile models in software development. This paper starts with an Introduction section, followed by a Materials and Method section, continued with a Results and Discussion section, and finally concludes the research in the Conclusion section.
