Abstract

Challenges and Solutions of Applying Large-Scale Agile at Organization-al Level

Highlights

“large organization” or “mature organization” [3]
If we look at all those phrases, it can be noticed that two different dimensions could be considered for the term “large-scale” in the context of applying agile methodology: individual level, like project or team, and organizational level, often referred by large or mature organization
Through our literature review, we have found that some papers mention that they deal with agile issues in large organization, but their approach and results are focused on agile for large software project or large-scale agile development [8] or a mixed of those with large organization perspective [6]

Summary

Introduction

“large organization” or “mature organization” [3]. Another definition perceives the “largeness” in terms of the complexity of the various knowledge boundaries across the actors and technologies involved [4]. If we look at all those phrases, it can be noticed that two different dimensions could be considered for the term “large-scale” in the context of applying agile methodology: individual level, like project or team, and organizational level, often referred by large or mature organization. A few papers have explicitly assumed an organization perspective when analyzing agile adoption at large [5], [6], [7]. Our objective is to investigate the literature on the field of applying agile at large-scale in order to find out the challenges and solutions that are relevant for applying large-scale agile at organizational level with the aim to create agility beyond individual team/project level.
