摘要

敏捷软件开发（ASD）提供了一种协调团队和项目的方法。协调是通过采用一组敏捷实践来实现的；然而，这些敏捷实践对于每个项目可能是不同的。所选择的实践组合可以被视为敏捷项目协调策略。目前关于ASD协调实践和协调理论的知识体系几乎完全基于案例研究。目前缺乏一个经过验证的模型。目的验证一个理论模型来解释ASD的协调，特别是协调策略与协调效果之间的关系。方法基于对340名敏捷从业者的国际调查，我们验证了这种关系，并使用PLS-SEM来估计这种关系。结果敏捷协调策略（包括同步性、结构性和跨界性）与协调效果（内隐和外显）呈正相关。顾客参与对协调策略与协调效果之间的关系具有调节作用。这些结果主要由虚拟工作安排的证据支持。结论本研究提供了一个经过验证的协调理论和信息，说明了敏捷实践与敏捷软件开发中有效协调的关系。这个协调理论可以用来研究未来在系统和软件开发项目中使用的敏捷方法变体中的协调。

Investigating the relationship between coordination strategy and coordination effectiveness in agile software development projects

Context

Agile software development (ASD) provides a way to coordinate teams and projects. Coordination is achieved by adopting a set of agile practices; however, these agile practices may differ for each project. The chosen assemblage of practices can be considered an agile project coordination strategy. The current body of knowledge about coordinative practices and theories of coordination in ASD is almost exclusively based on case studies. A validated model is currently lacking.

Objective

The objective is to validate a theoretical model to explain coordination in ASD, particularly the relationship between coordination strategy and coordination effectiveness.

Method

We validate this relationship based on an international survey of 340 agile practitioners and use PLS-SEM to estimate the relationships.

Results

The results show that an agile coordination strategy, that includes synchronisation, structure, and boundary-spanning, has a positive relationship with coordination effectiveness (implicit and explicit). Customer involvement moderates the relationship between coordination strategy and coordination effectiveness. These results are primarily supported by evidence from virtual work arrangements.

Conclusion

This research provides a validated coordination theory and information on what agile practices are related to effective coordination in agile software development. This coordination theory can be used to investigate coordination in future agile method variants used in system and software development projects.

期刊介绍： Information and Software Technology is the international archival journal focusing on research and experience that contributes to the improvement of software development practices. The journal''s scope includes methods and techniques to better engineer software and manage its development. Articles submitted for review should have a clear component of software engineering or address ways to improve the engineering and management of software development. Areas covered by the journal include: • Software management, quality and metrics, • Software processes, • Software architecture, modelling, specification, design and programming • Functional and non-functional software requirements • Software testing and verification & validation • Empirical studies of all aspects of engineering and managing software development Short Communications is a new section dedicated to short papers addressing new ideas, controversial opinions, "Negative" results and much more. Read the Guide for authors for more information. The journal encourages and welcomes submissions of systematic literature studies (reviews and maps) within the scope of the journal. Information and Software Technology is the premiere outlet for systematic literature studies in software engineering.
