“…As the project transitions into the planning stage, software development teams gain access to a wealth of information that allows them to strategize more effectively. According to [25], there are four key stages in the agile planning lifecycle: preliminary planning, planning, release planning, and iteration planning. Software development teams can offer increasingly precise estimates as project deliverables move through these stages.…”

In today’s rapidly evolving information technology sectors, agile methodologies have been employed by software development organizations to facilitate the large-scale, efficient, and swift development of digital products. Notably, it is a widely accepted principle that an increase in project delivery predictability results from more effective portfolio management. Despite the abundant resources within software engineering that address project management and agile development performance, the measurement of portfolio delivery performance integrating sustainability principles is under-researched. This paper aims to underline a solution to bridge this gap by proposing a data-driven scoring model explicitly designed for software firms to integrate sustainability metrics into their project and portfolio performance assessment. The model is primarily aimed at monitoring and enhancing delivery performance while also reinforcing the sustainability of the software development lifecycle. A thorough literature review was conducted to discern gaps in existing practices, followed by development of a scoring model melded with delivery and sustainability metrics seamlessly. Validated through a case study, the findings reveal that the model influences the performance and sustainability dynamics within software development entities. The insights gained from this study underscore the pivotal role of a harmonized delivery and sustainability metrics system in enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of software development undertakings.

“…Its effectiveness in rapidly and efficiently producing functional software has made it one of the most popular software development approaches today (Žužek et al, 2020). The agile model typically consists of four main stages: pre-planning, initial development, ongoing development, and release or launch (refer to Figure 5) (Waja et al, 2021). Pre-planning serves as the initial stage in the agile model, where the project vision is established and goals are set.…”

This research aims to analyze the types of startup business development methods and their relations to entrepreneurship. The research was conducted using exploratory research, which focuses on various types of startup business methods within the scope of entrepreneurship and describes them qualitatively. According to the analysis findings, several business startup development methods are relevant to today's business developments, including lean startup, lean canvas, design thinking, and agile. One of the four approaches, lean startup, is widely employed in establishing new enterprises. Lean startup is a business model in which the client serves as a trial object for the product being created in order to collect immediate feedback and make modifications depending on the demands of the consumer. In conclusion, entrepreneurship facilitated the presence of startup businesses by prioritizing meeting customer needs in accordance with the methods used to maximize business profits.

“…In today's fast-paced business environment, organisations are pressured to rapidly adapt and respond to ever-changing market demands. Thus, many software organisations increasingly turn to agile software development (ASD) methodologies to help them stay competitive (Waja et al, 2021). ASD methodologies can quickly create change, embrace that change reactively and proactively and learn from that change (Rathor et al, 2016).…”

PurposeLiterature reveals ongoing debates around the role of business analysts in agile software development (ASD) teams. This can be attributed, in part, to a knowledge gap concerning how business analysts contribute to overall team capabilities, particularly those which are essential in enabling teams to respond to fast-paced environmental changes. The purpose of this study was to address this gap by investigating how business analysts (BAs) contribute to the dynamic capabilities of ASD teams.Design/methodology/approachThrough a deductive approach, this study adapted and applied a research model based on the team dynamic capabilities (DC) theory to explore the contributions of BAs in agile teams. The study was executed using a qualitative, single case study research strategy directed at an ASD team in the financial services industry. Moreover, data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured interviews; a focus group; non-participant observation and physical artefacts review. The thematic analysis technique was used to analyse the data.FindingsThe study contributes to teams DC theory through four theoretical propositions centred on the role of BAs. The proposition highlights how BAs relationship management, tacit knowledge sharing, task mental models and transactive memory are key contributors of ASD teams' DC. The study also found that BAs contribute to ASD teams' ability to embrace agile principles 2, 4, 6 and 12. This study can inform the design of capacity development programmes for individual team members and BAs and thus help managers curate teams that will best promote DC.Practical implicationsThis study can inform the design of capacity development programmes for individual team members and BAs and thus help managers curate teams that will best promote DC.Originality/valueThis study builds on the relatively few studies which focus on DC within software development (SD) teams and ASD project teams. Moreover, the study explores how an individual (i.e. a BA) can contribute to the DC of a team.
