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
