Abstract
Dette speciale udvikler et praktisk koncept og et webbaseret værktøj til at måle agil modenhed hos den enkelte medarbejder i softwareudvikling. Med agil modenhed menes, hvor godt en person forstår og anvender agile arbejdsformer, for eksempel at arbejde i korte iterationer, samarbejde tæt og tilpasse sig ændringer. For at udvikle konceptet blev eksisterende modeller for agil modenhed og deres anvendelse kortlagt, med særligt fokus på, hvordan agilitet og agil modenhed kan vurderes. Værktøjet blev afprøvet med deltagere fra to softwarevirksomheder i Midtjylland, Danmark. Resultaterne peger på, at et sådant værktøj kan være nyttigt og attraktivt for både små og store virksomheder. Der er dog behov for yderligere forskning og bredere afprøvning for at validere konceptet.
This thesis develops a practical concept and a web-based tool to measure the agile maturity of individual employees in software development. By agile maturity, we mean how well a person understands and uses agile ways of working, such as short iterations, close collaboration, and adapting to change. To build the concept, existing agile maturity models and their use were reviewed, with a particular focus on methods for assessing agility and agile maturity at the individual level. The tool was tested with participants from two software companies in Midtjylland, Denmark. The results suggest that such a tool could be useful and appealing for both small and large companies. However, further research and broader testing are needed to validate the concept.
