敏捷軟體開發（Agile Software Development, ASD）對於軟體開發的方法有著
重大的影響。極限編程和 Scrum 是兩種最常用的敏捷軟體開發方法，並且是最常
在產業中被使用。隨著公司組織在敏捷軟體開發嘗試新的方法，伴隨著也出現更
多新的挑戰。由於知識以及產業實務應用上的不足，可能會影響專案的績效的緣
故，因此本研究分析了敏捷軟體開發變數間的關聯性，以確保欲達成的專案績效。
這些關聯性是透過專案的績效、敏捷核心價值、原則與實務方法之間的關聯性所
連結的。本研究總共有 35 名來自學術界的受訪者對於關聯性的優先順序做出判
斷。我們使用層級分析法（Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP）來分析數據。
研究結果顯示出每個變數之間相關性的最高優先順序。本研究成果可供敏捷軟體
開發採用者在決定欲達到的專案績效下，選擇適合採用的實務方法之參考。

Agile Software Development (ASD) invented a significant impact on the software
development community. Extreme Programming and Scrum are two most commonly
used method, and most researched in industry. Furthermore, new challenges are
emerging as organizations attempt new approaches in ASD. Due to insufficiency of
knowledge and understanding about the practices, it may affect the project performance.
Therefore, this study analyzes the correlation between agile best practices to enhance
project performance. The relationship is connected through the medium of project
performance, agile core value, and agile principle. Data collection methods used are
direct and indirect. The total of 35 respondents come from academic, and practitioners
give judgment about the correlation priority. We use the Analytic Hierarchy Process
(AHP) to analyze the data. The result indicated the highest rank of priority associated
with correlation among each variable. There are several related factors that might affect
the results of this study. The final result of this study suggests which practices to adopt
when the project performance needs enhancement and which moderator can affect the
decision-making process.
