Please consider submitting your research paper to the track on agile,
information systems development, and project management (
http://acis.aaisnet.org/acis2022/tracks/)

*Conference*: Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS) 2022

*Theme*: The Changing Face of IS

*Date*: 4-7 December 2021

*Submission Due: 16th August 2022*

The Australasian Conference on Information Systems is the premier
conference in the Australasian region for the Information Systems
discipline. This year will mark the 33rd year of the conference’s long
history, which will be hosted by the University of Melbourne in Melbourne,
Australia.

*TRACK DESCRIPTION *

Information Systems Development (ISD) is a broad concern encompassing great
diversity in approaches to analysing, designing, developing, and managing
the ISD process. ISD is organised as projects and the management of such
projects is a central concern of ISD. Over the recent years, ISD has
increasingly changed its face to embrace Agile and hybrid modes of project
and product/service delivery in order to deliver greater and sustainable
impacts for relevant stakeholders in an accelerated way. ISD projects of
any kind are a complex mix of people, processes, organisational cultures
and structures, and advanced and emerging technologies. Organisations
employ a diverse set of approaches to address new types of systems enabled
by digital technologies, including AI, data analytics, and the Internet of
Things. Novel approaches to managing the development of IS artefacts are
necessary to address the complexity of the systems being constructed as
well as the volatile situations in which they are deployed throughout their
life span. Moreover, the choice of development approach influences the
structure and/or culture of organisations that leads to new phenomena such
as (Biz)DevOps, Squads, and non-project-based continuous development and
delivery. Research in these areas can potentially make significant
contributions to the theory and practice of ISD. These contributions can
help us make sense of past changes to the nature of ISD, or chart the way
towards promising ways how ISD could potentially change its face in the
future.

This track seeks quality research papers using rigorous research methods
that concern current and emerging aspects of ISD, agile and adaptive
systems development and the management of IS projects in any context.

We welcome explanatory and design-oriented papers. Possible topics of
interest include but are not restricted to the following.

● Theoretical and philosophical aspects of ISD approaches and the
management of ISD projects

● Innovative and alternative approaches to issues in ISD and its management

● Research methods, tools, and techniques for research of ISD and its
management

● Role of ISD in organisational and digital transformation

● Digitally enabled agile ISD

● Managing sustainable development of IS artefacts

● Reconceptualising success and failure in ISD

● Case studies of ISD and IS projects

● Rethinking the management of ISD projects or of continuous delivery
approaches

● Agile, lean, and DevOps approaches to ISD and IS projects

● Alternate agile approaches to ISD and IS projects

● Distributed / global ISD

● Programme of work and portfolio management in IS contexts
