Today agile software development methods are used to create new systems, applications, and services in a wide range of industries. This paper analyzes the differences in stakeholder cooperation intensity for different levels of agile development. Two teams used a stakeholder identification framework to identify stakeholders' involvement for the new software system development. The teams are also measured by two industry agile measurement tests. The results show a connection between the level of agility and stakeholder cooperation intensity; and interestingly, the increase in intensity is with technical stakeholders, rather than with business people and customers as literature has suggested.
