AMCIS 2020 Final CFP - Mini-Track: Contemporary Issues in Agile Development

https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-25

Track: Systems Analysis and Design

Salt Lake City, Utah, USA August 12-16, 2020

It is fair to say that agile methodologies – in some form or manner – have been widely accepted in industry. We are farther along in our understanding of various aspects of agile development, including but not limited to its adoption, adaptation, scalability, social aspects, project management, distributed development, and enterprise agility. However, the emergence of new technologies, the increase in regulatory requirements, and the enormous changes that have occurred in the development landscape present opportunities for new areas of research. For example, the advent of DevOps and its interplay with agile has scarcely been empirically investigated. Likewise, agile methodologies appear to be a natural fit for Business Analytics projects. Yet, there is not much empirical research on their efficacy on such projects. This mini-track provides a forum for researchers to address fundamental issues regarding DevOps and agile development practices as well as contemporary topics raised by its widespread acceptance and use.

Suggested Topics

* Agile versus traditional project management * Agile methods in Business Analytics/Dashboarding applications * Knowledge Management in agile development * Agile methods - theory versus practice * Decision-making and governance issues in agile development * Self-organizing principles/practices of agile teams * Integrating HCI concepts with agile development * Economics of agile development * Role of agile methods in large-scale, mission critical systems * Scalability of agile projects * Agile development in regulated environments * Distributed agile development - challenges, risks, and opportunities * Lean practices in agile development * Ability of agile practices to deal with project disruptions * Theoretical foundations of (agile) software development * Agile in Open Source Software (OSS) development * DevOps and agility
