Opis:: Background: A number of Agile maturity models (AMMs) have been proposed to guide software organizations in their adoption of Agile practices. Typically the AMMs suggest that higher maturity levels are reached by gradually adding more practices. However, recent research indicates that certain Agile practices, like test-driven development and continuous integration, are being abandoned. Little is known on the rationales for abandoning Agile practices. Aim: We aim to identify which Agile practices are abandoned in industry, as well as the reasons for abandoning them. Method: We conducted a web survey with 51 respondents and interviews with 11 industry practitioners with experience in Agile adoption to investigate why Agile practices are abandoned. Results: Of the 17 Agile practices that were included in the survey, all have been abandoned at some point. Nevertheless, respondents who retained all practices as well as those who abandoned one or more practices, perceived their overall adoption of Agile practices as successful. Conclusion: Going against the suggestions of the AMMs, i.e. abandoning Agile one or more practices, could still lead to successful outcomes. This finding indicates that introducing Agile practices gradually in a certain order, as the AMMs suggest, may not always be suitable in different contexts.

Opis:: Context Software start-ups have shown their ability to develop and launch innovative software products and services. Small, motivated teams and uncertain project scope makes start-ups good candidates for adopting Agile practices. Objective We explore how start-ups use Agile practices and what effects can be associated with the use of those practices. Method We use a case survey to analyze 84 start-up cases and 56 Agile practices. We apply statistical methods to test for statistically significant associations between the use of Agile practices, team, and product factors. Results Our results suggest that development of the backlog, use of version control, code refactoring, and development of user stories are the most frequently reported practices. We identify 22 associations between the use of Agile practices, team, and product factors. The use of Agile practices is associated with effects on source code and overall product quality. A teams’ positive or negative attitude towards best engineering practices is a significant indicator for either adoption or rejection of certain Agile practices. To explore the relationships in our findings, we set forth a number of propositions that can be investigated in future research. Conclusions We conclude that start-ups use Agile practices, however without following any specific methodology. We identify the opportunity for more fine-grained studies into the adoption and effects of individual Agile practices. Start-up practitioners could benefit from Agile practices in terms of better overall quality, tighter control over team performance, and resource utilization.

Opis:: In this article we investigate the problem of applying agile practices into safetycritical projects. The goal of our research is to investigate potential benefits from introducing agile practices into safety-critical environment and to present a solution providing for balancing agile approach with more disciplined assurance techniques, bringing the best of the two worlds together. In this article we present the supporting ideas such as assurance argument patterns along with a case study. The case study investigates how software engineers perceive risks associated with the introduction of agile practices and collect their ideas on how these risks could be mitigated.

Opis:: Purpose: The aim of the article focuses on identifying the ways in which companies respond to the requirements of digitalization and what actions they take to maintain their competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the results of research conducted in April and May 2023 on a research sample of 303 respondents, aimed at understanding the adaptation of organizations to the challenges of digitalization through agile practices. Findings: The findings underscore the importance of fostering organizational culture that promotes adaptation and continuous learning, investing in digital skills training, embracing new technologies, and enhancing operational flexibility through agile practices. Research limitations/implications: Limitations include the potential lack of representativeness in the research sample, reliance on self-reported data, and the absence of longitudinal data. Future research could focus on expanding the sample size, conducting longitudinal studies, and exploring success factors in agile implementation. Practical implications: Practical implications include recommendations for companies to focus on developing organizational culture, investing in digital skills training, adopting new technologies, and enhancing operational flexibility through agile practices to improve competitiveness and resilience in the digital era. Social implications: Social implications involve fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation within organizations, which can contribute to economic growth and job creation in the digital economy. Originality/value: This article's originality comes from its thorough analysis of agile practices within digitalization, combining literature and empirical research to offer practical advice for companies facing digital transformation challenges.

Opis:: Purpose: The article aims to understand how agile organizational practices affect customer engagement in the processes of co-creating the offer. It responds to the growing needs of the market, which require companies not only to provide high-quality products, but also to be committed and open to cooperation with customers. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses a quantitative approach, including an extensive survey of 303 companies. The results were statistically analysed, which made it possible to generate a correlation table showing the relationships between individual practices. Findings: Most companies are positive about customer engagement in product/service testing, designing new offerings, and using customer feedback to improve existing products/services. The high correlation rates between different agile practices suggest that the realization of one practice often entails the implementation of others. Research limitations/implications: Limitations of the study include the homogeneity of a sample focused mainly on downstream employees in small and micro enterprises, which may limit the generalization of results. Practical implications: Companies can use the results of surveys to increase customer engagement by implementing real-time feedback systems, intensifying collaboration on new product development, and conducting regular satisfaction surveys. Social implications: Increased customer engagement in value creation processes can lead to greater customer satisfaction and loyalty, which contributes to building lasting relationships and a better brand reputation. Originality/value: The article offers a new perspective on the application of agile practices in the context of customer engagement, showing how customers can be effectively integrated into business processes, which is crucial to increasing the agility of organizations and their long-term success in the market.
