Abstract: The relationship between agile methods and open source software is unclear. At first glance, the two subjects do not seem to have any relationship since they address different concepts: a family of software development methodologies and a way to license a project’s source code. However, people involved in both movements form communities that share several practices and appear to be motivated by the same reasons. This work studies this relationship more deeply and presents similarities and differences between the two communities. Our work is a step towards identifying the solutions of each community and contributing with suggestions of development tools and processes in both environments. In particular, for teams wishing to develop quality open source projects,
this work presents an analysis of eXtreme Programming, from the point of view of a maturity model aimed at open source software environments, QualiPSo’s Open Maturity Model (OMM). This analysis should allow a team to fulfill basic quality requirements while still keeping work characteristics and behaviors common within free software communities.
