Abstract

The debate on how to integrate Design Thinking and Lean Startup into the agile process has been addressed in the literature over the past few years. Researchers argue that Design Thinking can contribute to software development by offering support on how to understand user needs in order to derive solution and product options, whereas Lean Startup helps to learn about business and scaling strategies. Based on these viewpoints, we developed InnoDev, which is an approach that combines Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Scrum to create an agile software development process that can deliver the innovative customer-oriented products and services required by competitive companies. This study aims to describe InnoDev in detail by depicting all its phases. Our findings provide complementary perspectives regarding software development strategies, roles and techniques. This study will advance the knowledge of Design Thinking and software development by providing a detailed description of a tool that combines best practices for creating more innovative software products. The results of this investigation can help managers to evaluate their software development process in order to improve its effectiveness and create more efficient user-driven solutions.
