Case study is a suitable research methodology for software engineering research since it studies contemporary phenomena in its natural context. However, the understanding of what constitutes a case study varies, and hence the quality of the resulting studies. This paper aims at providing an introduction to case study methodology and guidelines for researchers conducting case studies and readers studying reports of such studies. The content is based on the authors' own experience from conducting and reading case studies. The terminology and guidelines are compiled from different methodology handbooks in other research domains, in particular social science and information systems, and adapted to the needs in software engineering. We present recommended practices for software engineering case studies as well as empirically derived and evaluated checklists for researchers and readers of case study research.

“…Similarly, Brhel (2015) finds improved collaboration, knowledge sharing and job satisfaction with agility. Points echoed by Brown et al (2011) Knight (2013 Robinson (2004) andFeast (2012).…”

“…Kahkonen (2004) describes how collaborative interactions such as 'Show and Tells' (Brown et al, 2011) help decision-making. Sharp and Robinson (2004) describe how 'Boundary Objects' (Star and Griesemer, 1989) e.g. models and sketches ( 2 Ferreira, 2012) enhance 'ceremonies' (Isomursu et al, 2012) by embodying team knowledge and project decisions.…”

“…'The Wall' helps teams 'negotiate' Robinson, 2004 and in 'situatedness ' (Ikeya et al, 2012). This helps build an 'agile culture' (Livari and Livari, 2011) which is sustained through collaboration (Brown et al, 2011 and even when teams are geographically distributed (Larsson, 2007).…”

“…At the same time, 'user stories' (the indivisible unit of agile requirements) can drive empathy and are easily understood by non-technical stakeholders (Sharp and Robinson, 2004). However, the quality of these narratives can be variable and often they merely transcribe 'technical debt' rather than inspiring value adding innovation.…”
