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 website: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/
