  3. INTRODUCTION • analyse factor analysis from variables of Agile adoption responded by software practitioners in Malaysia.

  4. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS • The questionnaire was posted Web SurveyMonkey2. • 207 response and 88 completed section B and D • Fewer Respondents WHY? • analysis use SPSS version 17. • Each variable for this analysis has a six point Likert-type scale; from strongly disagree (1)to strongly agree (6) (1~6).

  5. SAMPLE SIZE AND STRENGTH OF RELATIONSHIP • determining for the suitability of the data; • sample size, • the strength of relationship among the variables. • Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) • Four or more loadings greater than 0.6 per factor is reliable regardless of the sample size . . • A KMO with 0.6 is suggested as the minimum value for a good factor analysis . • Our data is 0.755.

  6. FACTOR EXTRACTION • One of the procedures in factor analysis. • Purpose • Determining the smallest number of factors that can best represent the interrelations among the sets of variables. • eigenvalues (or Kaiser criterion) and scree plot. • eigenvalues >1
