Minitrack:
Organizational Transformation by Scaling and
Extending the Use
of Agile Methods
While agile methods have been
widely adopted in software development
projects in the past, organizations today scale the
use of agile methods
to larger settings (scaling agile) and extent their
use to other parts
of the enterprise. The broader use of agile methods
leads to intensive
organizational change activities that aim at
improving agility as a core
discipline of the digital enterprise. The
transformation has an impact
on all levels of the organization including the
individual, the
end-user, and the customer. Other non-IT functions
get increasingly in
touch with agile principles and practices. While
enterprises are
experimenting with the extended use of the agile way
of working,
research has mainly analyzed the ongoing change from
a software
development perspective. For this minitrack, we seek
to attract research
contributions that extend existing research by
focusing on
socio-technical, organizational, individual, and
managerial challenges
of scaling and extending the use of agile methods.
We welcome conceptual, empirical, and
design-oriented contributions for
this mini-track. Papers must be submitted through
the conference
