E-commerce applications have become extremely dynamic, which, necessitates rapid responses for adaptation and modification. The traditional approaches for developing E-commerce project are useful, only, in fixed requirements and resources. Agile software development methods provide approaches for rapid responses in a dynamic environment such as E-commerce applications. Development methods for E-commerce projects must be amenable for rapid changes in both requirements and resources. The goal of this paper is to present an agile based approach for E-commerce applications. The approach is formulated to idealize the characteristics and properties of the E-commerce projects. It is developed based on extreme programming and SCRUM methods, with the initial selection of an appropriate agile methodology according to e-commerce application scope.

Abstract


E-commerce applications have become extremely dynamic, which, necessitates rapid responses for adaptation and modification. The traditional approaches for developing E-commerce project are useful, only, in fixed requirements and resources. Agile software development methods provide approaches for rapid responses in a dynamic environment such as E-commerce applications. Development methods for E-commerce projects must be amenable for rapid changes in both requirements and resources. The goal of this paper is to present an agile based approach for E-commerce applications. The approach is formulated to idealize the characteristics and properties of the E-commerce projects. It is developed based on extreme programming and SCRUM methods, with the initial selection of an appropriate agile methodology according to e-commerce application scope.
