Agile development relies on self-organizing teams having a high degree of autonomy. For single-team development, more autonomy is generally considered better. In large-scale agile development, where several teams collaborate on the same…
With the agile approach to managing software development projects comes an increased dependability on well functioning teams, since many of the practices are built on teamwork. The objective of this study was to investigate if, and how,…
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,…
When large industrial organizations change to(or start with) an agile approach to operations, managers and some employees are supposed to be "agile leaders" often without being given a clear definition of what that comprises when building…
Context: Prior research has established that a small proportion of individuals dominate team communication during global software development. It is not known, however, how these members' contributions affect their teams' knowledge…
This paper aims to investigate the mechanisms that contribute to propagation of competence in an Agile Scrum team. This study seeks to challenge the traditional view of bounded rationality (BR). An Agile Scrum team (Team) is expected to…
Forming members of an organization into coherent groups or communities is an important issue in any large-scale software engineering endeavour, especially so in agile software development teams which rely heavily on self-organisation and…
The purpose of this paper is to suggest additional aspects of social psychology that could help when making sense of autonomous agile teams. To make use of well-tested theories in social psychology and instead see how they replicated and…
Global software engineering has become a fact in many companies due to real necessity in practice. In contrast to co-located projects global projects face a number of additional software engineering challenges. Among them quality management…
Context: Designing software is an activity in which software developers think and make design decisions that shape the structure and behavior of software products. Designing software is one of the least understood software engineering…
From science to industry, teamwork plays a crucial role in knowledge production and innovation. Most studies consider teams as static groups of individuals, thereby failing to capture how the micro-dynamics of collaborative processes and…
In large-scale agile projects, product owners undertake a range of challenging and varied activities beyond those conventionally associated with that role. Using in-depth research interviews from 93 practitioners working in cross-border…
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…
Teamwork is a central tenet of agile software development and various teamwork theories partially explain teamwork in that context. Big Five teamwork theory is one of the most influential teamwork theories, but prior research shows that the…
The Agile Manifesto describes that the most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is through face-to-face conversation. However that is not always possible when teams are working in a…
Retrospectives are vital for software development teams to continuously enhance their processes and teamwork. Despite the increasing availability of objective data generated throughout the project and software development processes, many…
Context: Social aspects are of high importance for being successful using agile methods in software development. People are influenced by their cultural imprint, as the underlying cultural values are guiding us in how we think and act.…
Teamwork is critical in many industrial sectors. When creating complex software solutions, most companies and public institutions organize work in cross-functional teams and follow the principles of agile development. This approach to…
We report findings from a case study of a large agile information systems development (ISD) organization`s sudden transformation to distributed, digital work in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. It seeks to understand how knowledge…
Together with many success stories, promises such as the increase in production speed and the improvement in stakeholders' collaboration have contributed to making agile a transformation in the software industry in which many companies want…
