Abstract

Agile development has been important to software engineering for decades. However, limitations in existing agile methods such as Scrum and eXtreme Programming still persist and have given rise to efforts aiming to integrate agile software development with other iterative and innovative practices such as Deisgn Thinking or Lean Startup. This paper aims to identify best practices and valuable proposals from such integration efforts, in order to create a new process model, which aggregates the core elements and key aspects of the former works. The research is based on a literature review and a cross-case analysis of two already existing models, MoIT and DT@Scrum. Relevant aspects of both models are presented and discussed in relation to other relevant research in this area. The analysis shows that an integration of Scrum practices with Design Thinking and Lean Startup could be favorable. Furthermore, the combined process model InnoDev is presented.
