Abstract

We are in the business of delivering software intensive business systems using modeldriven techniques Developing suitable code generators is an important step in modelbased development of purposespecific business applications Hence it becomes critical to ensure that code generator development doesn’t become a bottleneck for the project delivery After establishing a sophisticated technology infrastructure to facilitate quick and easy adaptation of modelbased code generators we experimented with agile methodology In this paper we discuss why pure agile methodology does not work for modeldriven software development We propose a modification to the agile methodology in the form of metasprints as a golden mean between agile method and traditional plandriven method Early experience with the proposed development method is shared along with the lessons learnt
