For those with research interests in agile and project management please
consider submitting to our track at ACIS 2017 (the Australasian Conference

Track: Agile, Project Management and IS Development


https://www.acis2017.org/conference/tracks/track-6-agile-project-management-and-is-development/



Information systems development (ISD) underpins the information systems
discipline; although traditional IS research often treats ISD as a black
box. Papers in this track open the black box by highlighting research on
current and emergent approaches to ISD that include adaptive and agile
project management techniques.

ISD is a broad and complex concern encompassing huge diversity in
approaches to analysing, designing, developing, and managing projects.
Additionally, ISD frequently takes place in complex, uncertain, and
mission-critical contexts. ISD involves peoples, processes, organisational
cultures and structures, and advanced and emerging technologies. So many
factors influence and shape ISD that different ways to address it have
emerged. Examples include agile software development, lean development,
DevOps, Squads, globally distributed and virtual software development,
among others. This fluid environment presents continuing challenges and
opportunities for practitioners, and many openings for ISD research to
improve our understanding of the multifaceted nature of ISD.


This track seeks quality research papers investigating current and emerging
aspects of ISD and agile project management. Possible topics of interest
include but are not restricted to, the following.

•            Agile project management versus traditional project management

•            Agile software development – coordination, control, and
limitations

•            Agile software development – teams, teamwork, and performance

•            Approaches to ISD

•            Distributed ISD – mechanisms, strategies, challenges, and
opportunities

•            Emergent practices and processes (e.g. Lean and DevOps)

•            Emergent issues in managing ISD

•            Industry-specific ISD

•            Innovative management of ISD projects

•            ISD and digital services, big data, and analytics

•            ISD for sustainable development

•            Research methods, tools, and techniques for studying ISD

•            Requirements and requirements management in ISD

•            Role of ISD in organisational transformation

•            Stakeholders and stakeholder management in ISD

•            Success and failure in ISD

•            The link between requirements and tests

•            Theorising ISD and IS project management

The conference is in Tasmania, the island state of Australia. With a
temperate climate, the island is renowned for beautiful scenery, amazing
beaches, and unique fascinating wildlife. The conference venue is in Hobart
the capital city. Lonely Planet has called this vibrant city one of the top
ten spots to visit in the world right now. Hobart is a beautiful, walkable
city combining heritage charm with art galleries, museums, a café
lifestyle, and ready access to the native bush.
