<div>The closest to a questionnaire that already exists is the
"Agile Karlskrona Test" by Mark Seuffert. It's a questionnaire
that aims to determine how far a development team is from
waterfall, on their way to agile: </div>

<div>The following papers by Asif Qumer and Brian
Henderson-Sellers are very interesting. They developed an
analytical framework, 4-DAT (4-Dimensional Analytical Tool) for
the purpose of analysis and comparison of agile methods. The
four different dimensions utilized are: method scope
characterization, agile characterization, agile values (cfr.
agile manifesto) characterization, and software process
characterization. They also build on the conceptual framework of
Kieran Conboy and Brian Fitzgerald and apply their own 4-DAT to
six well-known agile methods and two traditional methods, for
comparison.</div>

<div>The following papers by Ahmed Sidky et al, are about the
development of an agile adoption framework. However he has
some very interesting ideas in which he identifies five
different levels of agility depending on the practices
employed by companies/projects. He developed a reference
document with a very extensive questionnaire for managers,
developers, project managers and I believe customers to
identify which level a company/project is situated on. Besides
that he also identifies 'inhibiting factors' that limit the
highest possible agile level.</div>

colleagues, <br>
<br>
A group of students of mine are starting a project with the goal
of investigating "Knowledge transformation/management in the
agile software development". The project includes field/case
studies of the agile development teams. <br>
<br>
The first problem to solve in the project is how to choose the
right teams, i.e. how to differentiate the teams that are really
agile from those who just state/believe that they are agile. As
agile became a buzz/fashion word, we think that there should be
plenty of teams of the second class :-). <br>
<br>
We do not suppose that there are ready made methods to make such
a differentiation, and will be working on a questionnaire based
on the agile manifesto <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://agilemanifesto.org/">http://agilemanifesto.org/</a>.
However, if somebody knows any work, even if it is just MS/BS
thesis, devoted to this particular task, I and my students would
appreciate getting references to such works very much. <br>
<br>
The study itself concern knowledge management in the agile
development process. If you can point out any literature related
to this topic, we would appreciate it as well. For now the
project is planned according to the ideas presented at GTSE
workshop <a moz-do-not-send="true"
