title = "Introducing agile methods in a large software development team: The developers changing perspective",
abstract = "NW Soft Solutions Ltd. (a pseudonym) is a large software development unit that develops large-scale network centric software solutions. NW Soft Solutions Ltd decided to adopt an agile development methodology. Martin Fowler in his article {"}The New Methodology{"} [1], states that in his opinion {"}Since agile methods are so fundamentally people-oriented, it's essential that you start with a team that wants to try and work in an agile way{"}. Using NW Soft Solutions as a case study, this paper sets out to show how the developers attitudes towards agile methods change during the adoption phase. We see a shift in focus from agile practices at a superficial level to the core values that underpin agile methods.",
