Analysis of the Effectiveness of Using Agile Methods in Developing the Attendance Information System of SMK SBS (Syntax Bussines School) Kuningan

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of the Agile method in the development of an attendance information system at SMK SBS Kuningan. With a quantitative descriptive approach, this study evaluates system performance based on development time, end-user satisfaction, and system flexibility in dealing with changes. The study population included IT staff, teachers, and school administration officers who use the attendance system, with purposive sampling techniques used to select 30 relevant respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results showed that the Agile method was able to shorten development time by up to 30% compared to traditional methods, as well as increase user satisfaction in terms of ease of use, reliability, and flexibility. The iteration diagram shows Agile's ability to respond to changes effectively, minimize errors, and allow for feature adjustments according to user needs. This study reveals that the application of Agile in secondary education institutions is effective and can be a development model for other institutions that have limited resources but require high flexibility. This study fills the literature gap related to the application of Agile in the development of information systems in secondary schools, as well as providing practical contributions to more efficient and adaptive attendance management. Thus, it is hoped that the results of this study will be a reference for other educational institutions that wish to improve their information systems through Agile methods.
