Abstract

We've heard of Agile methodologies for several years, but software projects have still delays and failures in planning and management. How then automate the processes of the development of software projects following agile methodologies? In this paper we try to answer this question by proposing an appropriate use of collaborative environments for software development that effectively translated into action the principles and practices of Agile methodologies. The appropriate use of these collaborative environments leads to a truly agile management, where the project manager achieves the vision and the continuous monitoring of the project, and the participants become adapted to an agile and productive discipline imposed by the environment, regardless if they are geographically dispersed. To ensure that appropriate use, this paper proposes a methodological guide to achieve an agile management of software projects by relying on a particular collaborative environment.
