AMCIS 2019 CFP - Mini-Track: Innovative Methods and Continuous Development
https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle-...
Track: Systems Analysis and Design
Cancun, Mexico August 15-17, 2019
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 as 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 methods, processes and practices is needed. Such understanding can help organizations to achieve improvement in development outcomes such as productivity, quality, service time, and customer satisfaction. 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 mini-track.
Call for Papers:
We are seeking high-quality research papers for this track that investigate various aspects of contemporary 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, metrics 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 Continuous Development
