Agustin Yague is an Associate Professor (Titular de Universidad) in the Department of Sistemas Informáticos at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Sistemas Informáticos (ETSISI), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), within the Computer Science faculty. He earned his PhD in Computer Science from UPM in 2015, an Ingeniería en Informática degree in 2007, and a Diplomado en Informática in 1991, both from UPM. A member of the Systems and Software Technology Research Group (SYST) since 2005, Yague advanced to his current position in 2015 after serving as Titular E.U. from 1993 to 2015. He held key administrative roles as Director of ETSISI from 2017 to 2021 and Subdirector from 2015 to 2017.

Yague's research focuses on agile software processes, DevOps practices, project management, agile development approaches, system and software testing processes, and IoT tools. He has participated in several funded projects, including the EU's CPS Engineering Labs (€169,986, 2015-2018), MICINN's PID2020-118969RB-I00 on community-driven sustainable IoT systems (2021-2024), MINECO's TIN2016-79726-C2-1-R on adaptive crowd-sensing architectures (2016-2020), and DPI2013-47450-C2-2-R on smart city distribution systems monitoring (2014-2017). Prominent publications feature "An exploratory study in communication in Agile Global Software Development" (2016, Computer Standards & Interfaces), "Identification and analysis of the elements required to manage technical debt by means of a systematic mapping study" (2017, Journal of Systems and Software), "Self-service Cybersecurity Monitoring as Enabler for DevSecOps" (2019, IEEE Access), "LEGO® Serious Play in Software Engineering Education" (2021, IEEE Access), and "A New Way of Cataloging Research through Grounded Theory" (2023, Applied Sciences). With 41 documents in Scopus yielding 576 citations (h-index 13) and 31 in Web of Science with 380 citations (h-index 11) as of April 2026, his work demonstrates significant impact in the field. Yague has supervised 33 bachelor's theses, 11 master's theses, and 9 graduate works, alongside teaching over six quinquennia ending in 2023.
