============================================
Track Description
===============
Information technology and
information
systems (IT/IS) development and management is a complex
phenomenon. IT/IS
is typically developed and managed by deploying individuals or
groups from
various cultures, educational / professional backgrounds, and
organizations
who work together using various methods (or methodologies/
frameworks)
and tools to ensure that the final product will meet the
expectations of
all stakeholders. In order to better understand the intricate
problems
that can arise in such a complex and dynamic work environment,
this track
adopts a multi-dimensional approach focusing on both
user-centric, as well
as, method-centric aspects:
Human factors in IS/IT
Development
and Management: understanding the large variety of human
factors that
need to be considered during IS/IT Development and Management.
Issues such
as (and not limited to) lack of proper communication and
coordination among
team members, employee motivation, cultural differences etc.
This topic
also deals with human issues related to IS/IT development in
specific project
and organizational environments, for example, customer
collaboration is
important in an Agile development context, while developer
coordination
and communication is critical in a globally distributed software
development
environment
Methods and Tools in IS/IT
Development
and Management: understanding and explaining the design,
adoption,
and success of methods (or methodologies/ frameworks) and tools
from areas
such as (and not limited to) project management, software
engineering,
method engineering, architecture management, service management,
and IS/IT
governance. The goal is to foster research by providing deeper
insights
into factors that affect their successful design, dissemination,
and application.
Researchers and practitioners
interested
in submitting papers to this track are encouraged to explore
IT/IS development
and management issues related to the above mentioned themes –
for example,
from a design, behavioral, and technical perspective. Papers may
consider
different units of analysis: individual, group, or
organizational level.
Topics of interest include, but
are
not limited to:
=======================================
o Socio-technical approach
o Coordination, communication,
collaboration,
and awareness issues in IS/IT development and management
o Organizational and governmental
issues
in IS/IT development and management
o Project management methods and
tools
o Communities of interest,
communities
of practice, knowledge sharing and organizational learning in
IS/IT development
and management
o Issues particular to global
IS/IT
development and management (e.g. outsourcing)
o Issues related to Open source
development
o Design, configuration and
customization
of IT/IS management and development methods and tools
o Empirical studies in method
design
and engineering: experiences, case studies and usage-oriented
evaluations
o Issues related to
computer-based support
to IS/IT methods
o Method and tool acceptance and
adoption
o Strategies to improve IS/IT
methods
acceptance
o Leadership, power, and politics
in
IS/IT development and management
o Software and tools that support
effective
IS/IT development and management (e.g., project management
information
systems, software development tools, etc.)
