Abstract

Performance of individual developers and effort on reworks in agile scrum environments has an impact on the productivity and quality of the developed software. The traditional agile metrics do not consider reworks in measuring productivity. Yet, an enhanced methodology to compute individual performance and quantify reworks in agile scrum contexts is required. By introducing Earned Value Analysis based Productivity Ratio and Blended Quality Metric based on Code Maintainability Index, this gap is bridged. Applying the metrics to ten real time software projects over eighteen months, having twelve sprints each, a framework is decided for performance management in agile scrum development. The findings indicate the efficacy of the metrics in providing valuable insights to improve productivity and quality measures in software development environments.
