Conference Theme: Digital Disruption
Track: Organisational
Transformation & Information Systems (SIG-OSRA)
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
