Key Skills to Work With Agile Frameworks in Software Engineering: Chilean Perspectives

Abstract

Agile frameworks continue to provide positive evidence regarding the benefits of their use in the software products. Since these methods develop professional skills in those who practice them, their knowledge and use will acquire greater demand in areas other than software development. For this reason, it is essential to recognize the key skills for agile team building. The goal of this paper is to identify the agile professional skills that the Chilean industry considers key to conform high-performance agile teams. A survey was applied to agile community professionals in Chile to validate the results of previous work and to identify relevant information regarding learning processes, techniques, and tools for working with agile frameworks. The results allowed to establish three key skills for high-performance teams with their respective levels of achievement.
