XP2021 - 22nd International Conference on Agile Software Development – Agile Turns Twenty While the World Goes Online June 14-18 2021 ONLINE https://www.agilealliance.org/xp2021/

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ============================================

XP is the premier Agile software development conference combining research and practice. It is a unique forum where Agile researchers, practitioners, thought leaders, coaches, and trainers get together to present and discuss their most recent innovations, research results, experiences, concerns, challenges, and trends. Whether you are new to Agile or a seasoned Agile practitioner, XP 2021 will provide an informal environment to learn and trigger discussion.

2021 marks 20 years since the publication of the Agile Manifesto, making it a good time to reflect on the past, the present and the future of Agile. The strength of XP is the way it enables conversations and the exchange of ideas between academics and industry practitioners. After the challenges of 2020 and during these times of great change it is as important as ever for us to come together and share what we have learnt over the last year. The conference will run online for a second year which gives us the opportunity to reach out to a global and diverse audience, and we particularly welcome proposals from new contributors and new perspectives. So, we encourage contributions from regular attendees and newcomers, and look forward to meeting old and new friends in June 2021.

PROGRAM: XP 2021 will consist of a 5-day program with sessions that feature research papers, experience reports, keynotes, panels, workshops, lightning talks, posters and industry events

SUBMISSIONS: Submissions solicited below will be reviewed by the program committee based on relevance, significance, rigor, novelty, replicability, and quality. In some cases, submissions that have been accepted will be subject to shepherding by a designated committee member.

The XP 2021 conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series, and will be open access. Full and short research papers will be published in the main proceedings before the conference. The post-conference proceedings volume will include the workshop papers and selected poster submissions.
