THEME AND TOPICS

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:

+ Socio-technical approach + Coordination, communication, collaboration, and awareness issues in IS/IT development and management + Organizational and governmental issues in IS/IT development and management + Project management methods and tools + Communities of interest, communities of practice, knowledge sharing and organizational learning in IS/IT development and management + Issues particular to global IS/IT development and management (e.g. outsourcing) + Issues related to Open source development + Design, configuration and customization of IT/IS management and development methods and tools + Empirical studies in method design and engineering: experiences, case studies and usage-oriented evaluations + Issues related to computer-based support to IS/IT methods + Method and tool acceptance and adoption + Strategies to improve IS/IT methods acceptance + Leadership, power, and politics in IS/IT development and management + Software and tools that support effective IS/IT development and management (e.g., project management information systems, software development tools, etc.)
