Agile Teams

This review article aims to analyze one of the most important elements in the software industry: the conformation of self-managed work teams and the implementation of a planning, control and development methodology of software project.For that, a literature review was made, researching journal articles, graduation projects and books, among others, to know the software industry generalities worldwide, as well as the situation in Colombia, the conformation of self-managed work teams and the agile methodologies features for planning, executing and controlling development projects. The self-managed teams’ conformation eases communication and knowledge sharing, essential elements inside the software development industry since they allow the generation of an appropriate answer in front of the changes caused by the environment. Supporting on the Scrum development methodology, value for the stakeholders is obtained and a workflow is set, guided to improve project productivity and efficiency.ResumenEl presente artículo de revisión tiene como finalidad analizar uno de los elementos más importantes en la industria de software: La conformación de equipos autogestionados y la implementación de una metodología para la planeación, control y desarrollo de los proyectos de software. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en diferentes bases de datos académicas, con el fin de conocer las generalidades y estado de la industria de software, la conformación de equipos autogestionados y las características de las metodologías ágiles de desarrollo. La conformación de equipos autogestionados facilita la comunicación y transmisión de conocimiento, elementos fundamentales dentro de la industria de desarrollo, permitiendo generar una respuesta adecuada frente a los cambios ocasionados por el entorno. Apoyándose en la metodología de desarrollo Scrum, se obtiene valor para los Stakeholders y se establece un flujo de trabajo encaminado a mejorar la productividad y eficiencia del proyecto.ResumoEste artigo é uma revisão e análise de um dos elementos mais importantes da indústria de software: A criação de equipes auto-geridas e implementação de uma metodologia de planejamento, controle e desenvolvimento de projetos de software. Uma revisão da literatura em diferentes bancos de dados acadêmicos foi realizada a fim de conhecer generalidades e estado da indústria de software, a criação de equipamentos de auto-gestão e as características de metodologias ágeis de desenvolvimento.

Com base na metodologia de desenvolvimento Scrum, o valor das partes interessadas é obtido e um fluxo de trabalho projetado para melhorar a produtividade e eficiência do projeto é estabelecida.

The Precariousness of Immaterial Labor: Self-Taylorization in the Brazilian Software Industry

Contrary to theses that present the emergence of immaterial and digital labor as a paradigmatic break with industrial production, analysis of the “agile methodologies” employed in software production suggests that the “new” features of these forms of labor organization in the twenty-first century are configured as adaptations of Taylor-Fordism and Toyotism to a new productive frontier unexplored or explored to a limited extent by capital in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially in that the self-Taylorization of labor is one of the bases of software production in Brazil.

Nowadays, there is an exponential increase in the technology industry. However, there is not enough movement to promote changes in the Computer Science curricula. This study aims to analyze the alignment between Brazilian northeast academia and the global industry regarding developing skills in the context of agile methods. This research conducted an exploratory and quantitative survey with 161 participants represented by 65 students, 85 professionals from 10 countries, and 16 university professors. The preliminary results illustrate that academics believe that they are moderately aligned with the market. However, from the practitioner's viewpoint, it is unsatisfactory. This article reports relevant findings that can help the Brazilian academy align its practices with the needs of the global software industry.

New Challenges

Moving beyond algorithms and big data as starting points for discussions about privacy, the authors of Privacy After the Agile Turn focus our attention on the new modes of production of information systems. Specifically, they look at three shifts that have transformed most of the software industry: software is now delivered as services, software and hardware have moved into the cloud and software’s development is ever more agile. These shifts have altered the conditions for privacy governance, and rendered the typical mental models underlying regulatory frameworks for information systems out-of-date. After 'the agile turn', modularity in production processes creates new challenges for allocating regulatory responsibility. Privacy implications of software are harder to address due to the dynamic nature of services and feature development, which undercuts extant privacy regulation that assumes a clear beginning and end of production processes. And the data-driven nature of services, beyond the prospect of monetization, has become part of software development itself. With their focus on production, the authors manage to place known challenges to privacy in a new light and create new avenues for privacy research and practice.
