Abstract

This paper investigates the adaptability of agile methodologies to software development standards laid down by ISO. On the basis of this analysis, guidelines are proposed for developing software in such a way that the development process conforms to the standards required by the software acquirer, while still retaining its agile characteristics. Extreme Programming (XP) is used as the primary representative of the various agile methodologies.
