Abstract

We conducted a case study to examine the challenges encountered in large-scale agile development (LSAD) within two Swedish software companies. While agile methodologies have proven successful in small and medium-sized projects, their implementation in large-scale software development projects can be problematic. To identify these challenges, we employed thematic analysis, which revealed a total of 26 distinct challenges. These challenges were categorized into three main themes: Processes and practices, Teams, and Organizational-level challenges in LSAD. By recognizing and addressing these challenges, projects operating in similar contexts can synchronize their activities and harness the advantages of agile methodologies at a large scale. The article delves into comprehensive discussions on these challenges, offering valuable insights and directions for future research endeavors.
识别和分类大规模敏捷软件开发项目中的挑战:来自两个瑞典公司的见解
我们进行了一项案例研究,以考察两家瑞典软件公司在大规模敏捷开发(LSAD)中遇到的挑战。虽然敏捷方法论在中小型项目中已经证明是成功的,但在大型软件开发项目中的实施可能会有问题。为了确定这些挑战,我们采用了主题分析,共揭示了26个不同的挑战。这些挑战分为三个主要主题:流程和实践、团队和LSAD中的组织级挑战。通过认识和解决这些挑战,在类似环境中运行的项目可以同步其活动,并大规模利用敏捷方法的优势。这篇文章深入探讨了这些挑战,为未来的研究工作提供了宝贵的见解和方向。
