Second International Workshop on Agile Transformation (ATRANS)
Given the prevalence of and success with Agile in software
development,
companies are embarking on a process called ?Agile transformation?
within
IT functions, business units, or whole organizations. The First
Workshop
on Agile Transformation (ATRANS 2019) took place at XP 2019 and
was the
culmination of a week in which Agile transformation was identified
as an
increasingly relevant topic of research. During the workshop, the
top three
success factors for Agile transformation emerged as: ?changing
organizational culture?, ?leadership? and ?engaging people?.
Building on
this work, and for this second instantiation of ATRANS, we
challenge the
scientific community to examine Agile transformation across IT
functions,
business units, or whole organisations, focusing in particular on
the
aspects of culture, leadership, people, and sustainability. We
welcome both
academic research and industry experience papers and will provide
an
interactive arena for knowledge sharing and exchange of
experiences between
academics and practitioners.
The goal of the workshop is to share research on Agile
transformation,
in particular in the areas of culture, leadership and people. We
are
particularity interested in re-examining the transformation
process and
identifying key factors which enable or inhibit Agile
transformations.
Throughout the workshop, we will learn about practitioner
experience and
academic research.
Topics of Interest
The topics of interest to this year?s ATRANS include, but are not
restricted to, the following:
- Organizational agility
- Culture, leadership, and people
- Sustaining Agile practices during and beyond transformation
- Enablers, impediments, and balancing conflicting demands
- The rationale for initiating Agile transformation
- Defining and measuring success of Agile transformation
- Coordinating stakeholders
- Tools and technologies
- Evaluation
Submissions will be first screened on rigor and relevance and then
evaluated by members of the program committee based on soundness,
significance, novelty, verifiability, and presentation quality.

submission
