Mini-track * Organizational Transformation by Scaling and Extending the Use of Agile Methods*
Track *Organisational Transformation & Information Systems (SIG OSRA)*

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 well established, organizations 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, (3) extending agile values, principles and methods to other functions in the enterprise beyond software development and IT, and (4) establishing inter-organizational setups for agility across business ecosystems which may include customers, partners or suppliers. These extensions lead to intensive organizational change activities with a high impact on potentially all organizational levels: individual, team, management and governance.
 
For this mini-track, we seek to attract research contributions that extend existing research by focusing on socio-technical, organizational, managerial and/ or individual challenges of 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.
