While agile development methods have enjoyed widespread adoption, literature has lagged behind in the development of theory to explain its impact on team performance. In this paper, we develop a theoretical model to explain the impact of agile software development on the performance of information systems development (ISD) teams. We first propose a new construct “ISD team agility” which we conceptualize along the iterativeness and collaborativeness of conducting fundamental activities of…

Adaptation Patterns in Agile Information Systems Development Teams

The results show that the theoretical link between different types of events and adaption patterns depends on the type of event and the reach of the events’ impact as well as on the extent to which the teams followed an iterative development approach.

Whole Team Thinking and Success Factors in Large Scale Agile Development - An Exploratory Case Study

Agile software development has been the preferred method since it was introduced as a software development method in 2001. It was originally intended for small co-located teams but in later years it…

Coordination Challenges in Large-Scale Software Development: A Case Study of Planning Misalignment in Hybrid Settings

This case study within a large software development unit of 13 teams at a global enterprise software company explores how and why a combination of traditional planning on an inter-team level and agile development on a team level can result in ineffective coordination.

Agile Software Development

Software brings life to various types of computer systems which have steadily become cheaper, more powerful, more compact, and more energy efficient over the last decades.

Industry-Specific Human Capital and Wages: Evidence from the Business Process Outsourcing Industry

This work builds on IS and economics literature to theorize returns to human capital in the BPO industry, and test the theory using data for over 2,500 BPO professionals engaged in call center work and other nonvoice services in India during the 2006-2008 time period and finds higher returns to industry-specific human capital than to firm-specific and general human capital.

mHealth Collaboration for Social Good

This study suggests that traditional Western-based project management approaches alone are insufficient when developing technology for social good and finds that team, process, and technology adaptability are key to successfully developing healthcare technology to serve at-risk populations in resource-constrained areas.
