There are a number of approaches to software development, both disciplined and agile. Each approach includes a set of different activities. Sometimes, the specific nature of a company\u2019s work requires a specific approach, but the need to make work more efficient, faster and better requires implementing activities of other approaches. Then hybrid software development approaches come in. The paper presents an expert survey to examine the most important software development activities, the combinations of development approaches that are used in software development processes and the way of upgrading existing approaches. The evaluated activities of software development process are classified according to their nature \u2013 whether they correspond with a team, organisation, documentation, development, and testing. The conclusions are also made on the practices that are required most \u2013 disciplined, Agile or hybrid.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/acss-2021-0005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,5]],"date-time":"2021-06-05T19:55:45Z","timestamp":1622922945000},"page":"38-43","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Expert Survey on Current Trends in Agile, Disciplined and Hybrid Practices for Software Development"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7983-3088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oksana","family":"\u0145ikiforova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Riga Technical University , Riga , Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristaps","family":"Babris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Riga Technical University , Riga , Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linda","family":"Madel\u0101ne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Riga Technical University , Riga , Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026042709092017285_j_acss-2021-0005_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"[1] M.
