Adaptation of Agile Methodology in Mainframe Projects

The software engineering methodologies have played a significant role in an organization that is fuelled by programming. ‘Continuous development’ has been the most popular buzzword of the previous decade. If executed right, continuous delivery of software is considered the epitome of software development based on customer retention and satisfaction. That is why methodologies like Agile, Scaled Agile, and DevOps, the recent ones, are reigning in the IT and development industries today. The biggest challenge for today’s organization lies in selecting the most appropriate software development methodology for a given project, adapting the methods to a diverse working culture spread across countries.  The thesis aims to evaluate how the new Agile Methodology is used in legacy Mainframe Projects specific to Volvo. The thesis also discusses how the Volvo internal ‘Application Development Framework’ helps to work along with the agile methods. The research is carried out in a qualitative method where participants are interviewed, and the results are inferred from their day-to-day activities.  The research result contributes to a better understanding of the issues faced while working with a new methodology following legacy systems.
