Scaling Agility in Large Software Development Projects: A Systematic Literature Review

Research output: Contribution in Book/Catalog/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Agile practices and methodologies have been steadily gaining in popularity within the software development landscape. This has been mainly happening due to their focus on value-maximizing features satisfying the users of software solutions, and their capacity to cope with change within all the development life-cycle phases. Despite the successful proliferation of agile frameworks in small software development teams with limited project scopes, there is still some uncertainty in terms of the ways to scale agility to large and complex software development projects involving a high number of co-creating teams. This paper describes a literature review to retrieve academic sources reporting on highly-referenced frameworks that are supposed to facilitate the upscale of agile practices. The literature review is aimed at procuring the attributed benefits of scaling agile practices in correspondence to the software development domain and identify the challenges that impact the successful upscale of agility in large projects and complex organizational structures.
