System Dynamics Modeling of Agile Continuous Delivery Process

The popularization of agile development as well as the recent prevalence of virtualization and cloud computing has revolutionized the software delivery process- making it faster and affordable for businesses to release their software continuously. Hence, the need for a reliable and predictable delivery process for software applications. The aim of this paper is to develop a System Dynamics (SD) model to achieve a repetitive, risk-free and effortless Continuous Delivery process to reduce the perils of delayed delivery, delivery cost overrun and poor quality delivered software.
