Software development projects have undergone remarkable changes with the arrival of agile development methods. While intended for small, self-managing teams, these methods are increasingly used also for large development programs. A major…
Distribution of software development is becoming more and more common in order to save the production cost and reduce the time to market. Large geographical distance, different time zones and cultural differences in distributed software…
The Covid-19 pandemic established hybrid work as the new norm in software development companies. In large-scale agile, meetings of different types are pivotal for collaboration, and decisions need to be taken on how they are organized and…
Hybrid work has become a reality post-pandemic, transforming how Agile teams deliver value, collaborate, and adapt. This study investigate how hybrid settings influence productivity and collaboration through nine interviews with three…
The ability to self-organise is posited to be a fundamental requirement for successful agile teams. In particular, self-organising teams are said to be crucial in agile globally distributed software development (AGSD) settings, where…
Context: Agile software development (ASD) sets social aspects like communication and collaboration in focus. Thus, one may assume that the specific work organization of companies impacts the work of ASD teams. A major change in work…
Nowadays, many individuals and teams involved on projects are already using agile development techniques as part of their daily work. However, we have much less experience in how to scale and manage agile practices in distributed software…
Background: Agile methods are no longer restricted to small projects and co-located teams. The last decade has seen the spread of agile into large scale, distributed and regulated domains. Many case studies show successful agile adoption in…
Editor Introduction: Today software engineering is characterized by two strong trends: agile and distributed. Both together are increasingly demanded and challenge teams and projects due to lack of discipline, insufficient transparency,…
We reflect on our experiences as designers of COVID-19 data visualizations working in a distributed synchronous design space during the pandemic. This is especially relevant as the pandemic posed new challenges to distributed collaboration…
The COVID-19 pandemic shifted academic collaboration from in-person to remote interactions. This study explores, for the first time, the effects on scientific collaborations and impact of such a shift, comparing research output before,…
The rapid adoption of remote and hybrid work models in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to communication and coordination within software development teams, affecting how various activities are executed.…
The software development process has evolved with respect to the problems in developing large and complex applications. There is a paradigm shift towards collaborative development, which necessitates the need to evaluate this approach. A…
Organisations are upscaling their use of agile. Agile ways of working are used in larger projects and also in organisational units outside IT. This paper reports on the results of the first international workshop on agile transformation,…
Effective coordination is the key to successful agile teams. They rely on frequent interactions and mutual adjustment to manage dependencies between activities, which traditionally has been solved by co-locating the team. As the world is…
Large-scale system development companies are increasingly adopting agile methods. While this adoption may improve lead-times, such companies need to balance two trade-offs: (i) the need to have a uniform, consistent development method on…
Due to the global pandemic, in March 2020 we in academia and industry were abruptly forced into working from home. Yet teaching never stopped, and neither did developing software, fixing software, and expanding into new markets. Demands for…
We see that the collaborative and participatory nature of software development continues to evolve, shape and be shaped by communication channels that are used by developer communities of practice--both by traditional communication channels…
Communication is essential for the success of student and professional software engineering (SE) team development projects. The projects delivered by SE courses provide valuable learning experiences for students because they teach…
The purpose of this review is to understand the importance of collaboration tools which are Slack, Microsoft Teams, Confluence in Agile and software projects. Agile methodologies rely on flexibility, using cycles and integration throughout…
