XP2021 3rd International Workshop on Agile Transformation (ATRANS)
- CfP
Agile transformations are carried out in organisations to improve
organisational agility in projects, business units, and across the
whole
organisation. Organisations are undergoing agile transformations
due to the
influence and success of agile software development methods in IT
contexts,
and due to the influence of business and management leaders who
want their
organisations to achieve whole-organisation agility. Currently,
knowledge
of agile transformation is scattered across software engineering,
information systems, and management research. The aim of the
workshop is to
achieve knowledge transfer about agile transformations between
practitioners and researchers, and between the domains of agile IT
and
business agility. A second aim is also to develop a research
agenda for
agile transformation informed jointly by practitioners and
researchers.
The community interested in this workshop will be practitioners
who are
involved in small and large-scale agile transformations (pre,
during, and
post transformation), and who want to gain knowledge about
transformation
or contribute their experiential knowledge to the community. The
community
will be researchers who are exploring agile transformation to
develop
guidelines for practice and theoretical contributions to
knowledge.
ATRANS 2021 aims to transfer interdisciplinary ideas between
practice and
academia about agile transformation, to identify novel areas for
research,
to extend and deepen the existing research, and to generate ideas
for
practice-based theory to guide future research and practice. The
workshop
will engage with practitioner experience and academic research to
support
cross-fertilisation of ideas. The outcome will be a meaningful
research
agenda for 2021 and beyond.
The workshop will be a half-day with paper presentations,
interactive group
discussion to generate cross fertilisation of ideas to generate a
future
research agenda, and a panel discussion with researchers and
practitioners
on current topics in agile transformation.
ATRANS 2021 welcomes cross-disciplinary academic research and
industry
experience papers.
The topics of interest to ATRANS 2021 include, but are not
restricted to:
• Organisational agility
• Factors that enable or inhibit agile transformations
• Agile transformation under global pandemic conditions
• Human factors in agile transformations
• Organisational culture in agile transformations
• Leadership in agile transformation
• Sustaining agile philosophy and practices during and beyond
transformation
• The rationale for initiating agile transformation
• Defining and measuring success of agile transformation
• Coordinating agile transformations
• Novel tools and technologies in agile transformation
Guidelines
All submissions must conform to the LNBIP formatting and
submission
instructions. See the instructions for authors here. There are two
categories of papers:
1. Experience from practice paper: Max 4 pages sharing experiences
on agile
transformation
2. Research paper: Max 7 pages sharing research developments on
agile
transformation (included in conference proceedings)
Evaluation
Submissions will be first screened on rigour and relevance and
then
evaluated by members of the program committee based on soundness,
significance, novelty, verifiability, and presentation quality.
Accepted research papers will be published in the post-conference
proceedings, which will be archived by Springer (open access).
By submitting to the ATRANS Workshop, authors acknowledge that
they are
aware of and agree that papers submitted must not have been
published
elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review
elsewhere
while under consideration for the ATRANS 2021 Workshop.
