Using an ontology for systematic practice adoption in agile methods: Expert system and practitioners-based validation

作者：

Highlights：

• Successful agile practice adoption requires an in depth understanding of its content.

• Existing reports on agile practice adoption experiences are essentially unexploitable.

• An ontology is used as an efficient solution to recycle practices adoption experience.

• A corpus-based approach and a survey are used for validating the ontology.

• An expert system supports practitioners querying knowledge on practice adoption.
