Conference Theme: Digital Disruption
Track: Organisational Transformation & Information Systems (SIG-OSRA)
Minitrack: Organizational Transformation by Scaling and Extending the 
Use of Agile Methods

While agile methods have been widely adopted in software development 
projects in the past, organizations today scale the use of agile methods 
to larger settings (scaling agile) and extent their use to other parts 
of the enterprise. The broader use of agile methods leads to intensive 
organizational change activities that aim at improving agility as a core 
discipline of the digital enterprise. The transformation has an impact 
on all levels of the organization including the individual, the 
end-user, and the customer. Other non-IT functions get increasingly in 
touch with agile principles and practices. While enterprises are 
experimenting with the extended use of the agile way of working, 
research has mainly analyzed the ongoing change from a software 
development perspective. For this minitrack, we seek to attract research 
contributions that extend existing research by focusing on 
socio-technical, organizational, individual, and managerial challenges 
of scaling and extending the use of agile methods.

We welcome conceptual, empirical, and design-oriented contributions for 
this mini-track. Papers must be submitted through the conference 
website: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/
