Agile Methods are designed for customization; they offer an organization or ateam the flexibility to adopt a set of principles and practices based on theirculture and values. While that flexibility is consistent with the agilephilosophy, it can lead to the adoption of principles and practices that can besub-optimal relative to the desired objectives. We question then, how can onedetermine if adopted practices are "in sync" with the identified principles,and to what extent those principles support organizational objectives? In thisresearch, we focus on assessing the "goodness" of an agile method adopted by anorganization based on (1) its adequacy, (2) the capability of the organizationto provide the supporting environment to competently implement the method, and(3) its effectiveness. To guide our assessment, we propose the Objectives,Principles and Practices (OPP) framework. The design of the OPP frameworkrevolves around the identification of the agile objectives, principles thatsupport the achievement of those objectives, and practices that reflect the"spirit" of those principles. Well-defined linkages between the objectives andprinciples, and between the principles and practices are also established tosupport the assessment process. We traverse these linkages in a top-downfashion to assess adequacy and a bottom-up fashion to assess capability andeffectiveness. This is a work-in-progress paper, outlining our proposedresearch, preliminary results and future directions.
