Description of Minitrack In order to develop and deliver high-quality products to their customers, software organizations are adopting innovative methods (Kanban, Lean) and Continuous Development processes such continuous delivery, continuous deployment, and microservices to support an agile software development lifecycle. For example, the DevOps (Development + Operations) phenomenon emerged to address the disconnection between development and operations functions that can occur in large organizations particularly when they adopt agile software development lifecycles.
The choice of these innovative development methods and approaches have a high impact on the planning, development, operations, and delivery of systems. They can also influence the structure or culture of organizations as common organizational processes and development activities have to be adapted to ensure Continuous Development.
Therefore, a better understanding of the factors that influence the effective implementation of these innovative methods is needed. We need empirical evidence of achieving (or not) the intended goals and outcomes on all of the topics that fall under the umbrella of “Continuous Development”. These and other related topics will be explored in this minitrack.
We are seeking high-quality research papers for this track that investigate various aspects of contemporary innovative development methods (Lean, Kanban) and Continuous development. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Continuous improvement with Lean and Kanban - Continuous Development processes (continuous delivery, continuous release and deployment, continuous measurement and improvement) - Automation (build and test automation, deployment automation, monitoring automation, infrastructure automation) - Effective practices in Continuous Development - Challenges implementing Continuous Development processes and activities - Cultural enablers of DevOps (shared goals and understanding, continuous experimentation and learning, shared values, respect and trust, and collective ownership) - Organisational issues for Continuous development - DevOps in large enterprises - Industrial experience with Continuous development - Teaching DevOps and Continuous Development
Submission Process Full paper submissions (<5000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures) and Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers (<3500 words, excluding references, tables, and figures) must be made electronically through Manuscript Central. Papers will be peer reviewed using a double-blind system.
Important Dates March 1, 2019: AMCIS manuscript submissions (completed research and Emergent Research Forum (ERF)) closes for authors at 10:00 am PST April 24, 2019: Camera-ready papers are due
