“…This suggests that agile methods can also work well in large-scale product development. Another study from Ericsson finds that agile principles in large scale contributed to knowledge-sharing, and led to increased project visibility and effectiveness in coordination (Lagerberg et al 2013).…”

Agile development methods were believed to best suit small, co-located teams, but the success in small teams has inspired use in large and very large-scale software development. However, fundamental assumptions of agile development are challenged when applying the methods at a very large scale. An interpretative revelatory case study on one of the largest software development programmes in Norway shows how agile methods were adapted and complemented with practices from traditional methods to handle the scale. The programme ran over four years with 12 colocated development teams and a total of 175 people involved. The case study was conducted retrospectively using group interviews with 24 participants and documents. Findings on key challenging areas are reported: customer involvement, software architecture, and inter-team coordination. The revelatory study also suggests refinements of a research agenda for very large-scale agile development. Empir Software Eng (2018) 23:490-520

When individual teams in mechatronic organizations attempt to adopt agile software practices, these practices tend to only affect modules or sub-systems. The short iterations on team level do not lead to short lead-times in launching new or updated products since the overall R&D approach on an organization level is still governed by an overall stage gate or single cycle V-model. This paper identifies challenges for future research on how to combine the predictability and planning desired of mechanical manufacturing with the dynamic capabilities of modern agile software development. Scaling agile in this context requires an expansion in two dimensions: First, scaling the number of involved teams. Second, traversing necessary systems engineering activities in each sprint due to the co-dependency of software and hardware development.

“…In the current cited paper the purpose of the research was to contribute with empirical proof on the impact of using agile principles and practices in large-scale, industrial software development. Research was paying attention on impacts within seven areas: Internal software documentation, Knowledge sharing, Project visibility, Pressure and stress, Coordination effectiveness, and Productivity [12]. The agile software development approach does not stop ensuring the security of software increments formed at the end of iterations.…”

In modern well known approaches, "agile" has emerged as the leading approach in software industry for the development of the software projects. With different innovative shapes agile is applicable for handling the issues regarding cost, time, continuously change environment and requirements. Agile has proved to be successful in the small and medium size project, however, it have several limitations when applied on large size projects. The aim of this study is to analyze agile approaches in detail, finding its success stories in small and medium size projects and highlighting its limitations for large size projects .This study will identify the current research problem of the agile scalability for large size projects by giving a detail literature review of the identified problem, and will synthesize the existing work for covering the identified problem in the agile scalability. Based on it, we can judge the limitations of agile scalability for large size projects and can think of some remedial approach for overcoming these limitations in future.
