Minitrack #2 *Organizational Transformation by Scaling and Extending the
Use of Agile Methods*
Track *Organisational Transformation & Information Systems (SIGOSRA)*

Description:
Many of today’s organizations see agility as a core capability of the
digital enterprise. While following agile values, principles and methods
in software development projects is by now well established,
organisations across all industries increasingly try to harness Agile’s
potential in other areas.

These areas include (1) scaling agile development to larger settings
involving multiple teams and/or projects, (2) managing distributed
organizational setups for development, (3) extending the agile values,
principles and methods to other functions and departments in the
enterprise beyond software development and IT, and (4) establishing
inter-organizational setups for agility that include customers, partners
or suppliers. These extensions lead to intensive organizational change
activities with a high impact on potentially all levels of the
organization: individual, team, management and governance.

For this minitrack, we seek to attract research contributions that
extend existing research by focusing on socio-technical, organizational,
managerial and/ or individual challenges of scaling and extending the
application of agile values, principles and methods beyond their
original scope.

We welcome conceptual, empirical, and design-oriented contributions for
this mini-track. Papers must be submitted through the conference
website: https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/
