Adoption of Large-Scale Scrum Practices through the Use of Management 3.0

Abstract

Software engineering companies have progressively incorporated agile project management methodologies. Initially, this migration occurred mostly in the context of startups, but in recent years it has also sparked interest from other companies with larger and more geographically dispersed teams. One of the frameworks used for large-scale agile implementation is the LeSS framework. This study seeks to explore how Management 3.0 principles can be applied in the context of the ten practices proposed in the LeSS framework. To this end, a qualitative research methodology based on four case studies is used to identify and explore the role of Management 3.0 in software management and development processes that adopt this agile paradigm. The findings show that the principles of Management 3.0 are relevant to the implementation of the LeSS framework practices, especially in fostering team values and personal values; however, distinct principles between the two paradigms are also identified, namely the greater rigidity of processes advocated in the LeSS framework and a greater focus on process automation.

Reframed Design Thinking and Feasibility Analysis of UX Journey: Integrating User Experience and User Requirement for Solo Software Development

“…Particularly, decisions about the deployment of preventative measures demand a thorough understanding of the risk of change. In this case, the change in requirements will affect the whole system, even the rigidity of the modules in the software [14]. Rapid changes in user requirements indeed affect the quality of the software.…”

Agile Software Development and Reuse Approach with Scrum and Software Product Line Engineering

“…Agile development emphasizes moderate planning, human-oriented cooperation, faceto-face communication, self-organization and management, and rapid development [2]. Software organizations adopt large-scale agile practices [3][4][5][6] to replicate the success of agile methods on team projects at the organizational level.…”
