Realizing Agile Software Enterprise Transformations by Team Performance Development

摘要

Many software-intensive new product development (NPD) based enterprises pursuit nowadays agile transformations in order to sustain and improve their performance and competitiveness. Agile software development teams are by definition striving for high performance. However, in larger organizations there can be a wide diversity of such teams. It is not so straightforward to determine high performance for the teams, but by understanding the overall performance aims of the enterprise, such diverse teams bring competitive advantages to software development organizations. Continuing our prior works, this paper addresses those issues by proposing a performance analysis approach for agile software organizations. The overall goal is to provide means to distinguish different high-performing agile software teams, and consequently practical measures to establish and sustain performance in different organizational transformations. The example cases demonstrate how it is able to align and integrate team performance targets and overall aims of industrial software organizations under agile transformations.
