Xp Vs Scrum Research Paper

Each of them has positive features along with some shortcomings as well. Like Scrum having limitations in engineering practices, XP does not provide much more about management, while the RUP model also has drawbacks, such as for small projects, slow response to frequently changes in requirements and tends to be over budgeted. We are aware that RUP methodology, delivers a structured and disciplined approach throughout the software development, which is suitable for medium and large scale projects. On the other hand RUP model has some shortcomings as well, such as rapidly requirement changes not being recommended in RUP, which tends to be slow and over-budgeted; reputation in the sense of small and fast paced projects are substandard.
As we are also aware of Scrum is a framework, which is not providing proper plan for software development, like a development process to define Software Development Life Cycle. In Scrum practices most of the activities …show more content…
Agile software development methods can provide a shorter development cycle, higher customer satisfaction, lower bug rates, and quicker adaptation to rapidly changing business requirements. This paper presents a new hybrid model/method, which combines the Rational Unified Process with eXtreme Programming (XP) and Scrum to maximize the strengths of both conventional and agile methods, while trying to suppressing the weakness of each approach. The Rational Unified Process is used as a skeleton in the hybrid method while Scrum is embedded into the Rational Unified process to offer project management and tracking mechanisms through structured ceremonies, roles, and artifacts. It would be interesting to consider integrating the principles of RUP and XP and SCUM into the hybrid method. Framework
