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.)
