Track: Systems Analysis and Design

Cancun, Mexico August 15-17, 2019

Agile methodologies have seen increased acceptance among software
developers. This brings to the fore a number of research issues—adoption
and/or adaptation of agile methods, agile project management, social
aspects of agile development, distributed agile development, scalability of
agile methodologies, and enterprise agility, to name but a few. The
incorporation of myriad practices, particularly those advocated by lean
principles, has only rendered the term “agility” more nebulous. Prospective
research topics include lean and agile practices and their
synergies/differences, and the role of agile/lean principles in
facilitating flexible enterprise architectures. Considering the rapid
growth of agile development practices, the Project Management Institute
(PMI) recently introduced a new certification program focused on agile
project management. This is expected to further consolidate and spread the
use of agile development. Finally, although agile methodology appears to be
a natural fit for Business Analytics projects, which are inherently
iterative and exploratory, there is not much empirical research on their
efficacy on such projects. This mini-track will provide a forum for
researchers to address fundamental issues regarding agile development
practices as well as contemporary topics raised by its widespread
acceptance and use.
