Using a System Dynamics Simulation Model to Explore the Validity of Dynamics of Agile Software Development

Dr. Kim van Oorschot introduced a dynamic model to simulate Agile Software Development. The simulation result doesn’t correspond with what we can see happening in the real world. But it has been published twice in ten years. In this paper, we explore the model using system dynamics. We found the behaviors of several variables in the model don’t reproduce the behavior of Agile software development in the real world. This research would help us build a more precise dynamic model to simulate Agile software development.
