Scaling Agile Development Processes in Large Enterprise Software Development Organizations

Last modified Nov 21, 2022

 Project Goals & Scope 

  • Build on existing research results for adopting metrics in scaled agile development environments
  • Introduce Jira metrics with SAP Commerce Cloud teams based on a goal-based metric adoption process
  • Communicate gained knowledge within the organization by leveraging, for example, communities of practice

Questions addressed

  • Which goals should be supported by metrics at SAP Commerce Cloud?
  • Which metrics should be introduced based on cost-benefit considerations?
  • Which data quality improvement measures should be implemented to increase the metric trustworthiness?
  • How can metrics support agile teams (bottom-up)?
  • How can the bottom-up introduction of metrics be scaled out into the whole organization?

Research Approach

  • Design Science Approach: Goal-based metric adoption and long-term management approach for scaling agile environments

Expected Key Outcomes

SAP: Enabling agile teams to contribute to strategic goals at SAP Commerce Cloud by enhancing transparency through metrics
TUM: Demonstration, improvement, and evaluation of the goal-based metric adoption and long-term management approach and its accompanying artefacts
