CENDEJAS VALDEZ, José Luis et al. Design of the integrated collaborative model for agile development software in the central-western companies in Mexico. Nova scientia [online]. 2015, vol.7, n.13, pp.133-148. ISSN 2007-0705.

The information technology is the means to achieve innovation in production processes. Software plays an important role in achieving economic growth in any region. Nowadays the main problem in the development of custom software to generate applications is that it doesn't match the needs and objectives of the companies (strategic planning); it doesn't also directly impact the goals that companies planned because it is only developed and created by TI experts not by a combination between them and management experts as well. This way the development process would be optimized. These software need to be supported or based on some model or methodology that allows the creation of quality software, where a multidisciplinary group is involved in its creation, ie. the methodology works smooth to develop the project. Hence the need to generate a model that helps small and medium companies in the central-western of Mexico to have quality custom software. This study proposes a model for agile software development which take into account the perception of experts in that area. The model is called "Integrated collaborative software development model" (ICSDM) and offers an easy way to interact throught five different steps that brings the best practices in software development. Those steps are based on the principal functions that proposes the "Project Management Institute" (PMI). The ICSDM evaluates the quality of software through a series of KPI's that validate all the elements that contribute to the optimal functioning of software; those KPI's are also based on international quality standards. Finally the ICSDM intends to generate a knowledge base through social business supported by real time communication in social networks of experts opinions and experiences, allowing best practices in software development projects.
