Over Time

Software development projects have undergone remarkable changes with the arrival of agile development approaches. Although intended for small, self-managing teams, these approaches are used today for large development programs. A major challenge of such programs is coordinating many teams. This case study describes the coordination of knowledge work in a large-scale agile development program with 12 teams. The findings highlight coordination modes based on feedback, the use of a number of mechanisms, and how coordination practices change over time. The findings can improve the outcomes of large knowledge-based development programs by tailoring coordination practices to needs over time.

Information Technology Development

This case study presents the program management approach in managing large-scale information technology projects. Using the case of ACME Solutions Ltd., a large software development company, the authors first emphasize on the need to use program management over project management when managing related multiple information technology projects. Then, they explain the program lifecycle in this company and discuss the ‘process’ and ‘people’ related challenges across the program stages. Broadly, they observe that there is a lack of coordination between the stakeholders and processes of the program. Recommendations to overcome these limitations are discussed.

The present paper focuses on providing an in-depth understanding of the concept of agility and its uses in the software development projects. The paper also explains the key issues experienced by large companies while implementing agility practices and frameworks in the large-scale software development projects. The paper also develops key ideas about the procedure involved in implementing agility practices through extensive study of previous literature in this context. It also recommends certain methods in which the issues experienced during the implementation of agility in large scale software development projects can be minimized. The findings provide insights about the various challenges and reasons behinds such issues that are common in such large-scale software development projects drawing instances of international companies providing software development services.
