However, agile practices have been most widely and successfully undertaken in the context of small, colocated teams working on small software projects, known as the ?agile sweet spot.? In this monograph, Brian Hobbs and Yvan Petit explore the use and impact of agile outside of the agile sweet spot. Through a case study and survey questionnaire, they uncover research questions that have remained largely unexamined in the literature, on the project level as well as on the organizational level, namely: ? What challenges are encountered when applying agile approaches to large, multi-team software projects and what practices have been developed to alleviate these challenges? ? How does the context of large, complex organizations affect the adaptation and adoption of agile approaches and vice versa? An illuminating study of this emerging field, Agile Approaches on Large Projects in Large Organizations opens the door to further investigation on the future role of project managers, the use of scaling frameworks at the program and portfolio levels, and the effects of DevOps, one of the recent trends in agile software development. 606 $aAgile software development$xManagement 606 $aComputer software$xDevelopment$xManagement 606 $aInformation technology projects$xManagement 606 $aAgile project management 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAgile software development$xManagement. 615 0$aComputer software$xDevelopment$xManagement. 615 0$aInformation technology projects$xManagement. 615 0$aAgile project management. 676 $a005.1 700 $aHobbs$b Brian$0985215 702 $aPetit$b Yvan$f1958 November 24- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480138303321 996 $aAgile approaches on large projects in large organizations$92251799 997 $aUNINA
