Design requirements: Challenges and approaches

Summary form only given. Our research focuses on an analysis of the perception and utilization of agile methods in Thailand and begins to examine the gap between education and industry in this field. To develop an understanding of how agile methods are incorporated into computer science curricula several leading Thai universities were visited. Further, detailed interviews were conducted with a selection of large software companies in order to identify the perception and success of agile techniques. This research has provided an insight into level of preparation of Thai computer science graduates, specifically in the area of agile software development. Initial results from our empirical field research in Thailand are presented.
