Abstract
In this paper, the Agile Framework for Small Projects (AFSP) was applied to four industry cases. The AFSP provides a structured way for software organizations to adopt agile practices and evaluate the results. The framework includes an extended serum process and agile practices, based on agility and critical success factors in agile software projects that are selected from Serum, XP, FDD, DSDM and Crystal Clear. The case projects were evaluated, and the analysis of the results clearly showed that the framework used in the aforementioned cases displayed a high degree of efficiency.
