Agile at scale : a summary of the 8th International Workshop on Large-Scale Agile Development

Bass, JM; Salameh, A

Abstract

The Large-Scale Agile Development workshop explored the
main research challenges in large-scale software development. We considered multi-site organisations with large-scale projects that include a large
number of teams adopting agile methods. Such topics include inter-team
coordination, knowledge sharing, large project organisation, agile transformation, agile teamwork quality, project models that facilitate several
self-organising teams, and practices for scaling agile methods. We accepted five full research papers, which are included in this volume. The
accepted papers report empirical research studies using surveys, observations and case studies. Also, an interactive online discussion session was
conducted to compare the two approaches, SAFe and Spotify. The workshop participants, which were around a hundred people, joined this discussion to compare the two approaches and suggest some future research
questions about the hybridisation of SAFe and Spotify. This workshop
summary contributes as a current snapshot of research along with some
results from an interactive discussion about SAFe and Spotify.
