Abstract


Organizations of any size are seeking to manage, standardize and optimize their business processes by implementing Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP). However, these systems are not always compliant to all business processes. This leads to a sometimes massive development of new features or updates to existing features. The necessary updates demands flexibility, either from business processes, as from the systems processes. This paper describes the experience in using agile methods to build a development process to define planning and execution activities to adapt ERP systems.
Keywords: Development of Adaptations, ERPs, Agile Methods
