| dc.description.abstract | Large-scale agile software development is characterized by the need to coordinate dependencies within and between teams using various coordination mechanisms. Research on large-scale agile has identified and described many coordination mechanisms, but until now there has not been a structured approach to identifying and describing mechanisms, their characteristics, and how they may change over time. This dissertation presents an overview of 47 coordination mechanisms used in a large-scale agile Norwegian development program and presents the development of the Framework for Analyzing Large-scale agile Coordination mechanisms (FALC). FALC is developed from longitudinal fieldwork including the observation of more than a hundred meetings and 37 interviews and consists of 1) a taxonomy of inter-team coordination mechanisms including meetings, roles, and tools and artefacts, 2) a framework for analyzing the mechanisms’ technical, organizational, social, and physical characteristics, and 3) a practical approach to analyzing change in coordination mechanisms. FALC is designed to be context-sensitive and is intended for both researchers and practitioners in understanding and selecting mechanisms across organizational contexts. By this, the Ph.D. thesis advances knowledge on coordination in large-scale agile, with the goal of contributing to successful agile software development and continuous value delivery in large-scale settings. | en_US |
