Abstract

Modeling is an essential part in software development projects. This
shifts the focus of software development from writing code to
building models. Consequently Object Management Group (OMG) introduced Model Driven Architecture (MDA). MDA is the open
approach to control both business and technology changes. MDA is created to help UML designers to cover all specification of the
software system with all levels of modeling to move systematically
from requirement phase towards design and coding phases. This
paper focuses on the Business-Technology gap in software projects as
a research problem. A new framework for Agile Methodologies will be introduced as a general guideline for the Agile Software Projects.
This framework will integrate MDA capabilities and enhances the
development process in Agile Methodologies and Agile Project
Management. The empirical result is Agile Methodologies (with
MDA capabilities) can decrease the negative effects of the research
problem during the development of Information System (IS) projects,
and consequently increases potential capabilities in Agile
Methodologies.

Keywords: Agile Methodologies, UML, MDA, Agile MDA, Agile Methodology Framework, IT-Business gap.
