- PublikationThe Effects on Social Support and Work Engagement with Scrum Events(IEEE, 2021) Müller, Debora; Kropp, Martin; Anslow, Craig; Meier, Andreas [in: 2021 IEEE/ACM 13th International Workshop on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE)]One of the core values of the Agile Manifesto is “individuals and interactions over processes and tools.” Scrum implements interaction through key events (Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Retrospective). There is limited work done on how these events influence perceived social support and work engagement. This paper examines perceived social support as a strengthening factor on work engagement in an agile work environment. Drawing upon the Job Demands-Resource Model, the research question is how do Scrum events relate to social support and what effect do they have on work engagement? We conducted an online survey with 132 Scrum professionals and analyzed the data using structural equation modelling. Results show that the Scrum event Retrospective strengthened social support. Moreover, social support is positively related to work engagement. The research contributes to the limited empirical understanding on perceived social support as well as work engagement in an agile work environment. It provides companies with an understanding of the importance of Retrospectives as a Scrum event.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift

- PublikationStress in Agile Software Development: Practices and Outcomes(Springer, 2018) Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas; Anslow, Craig; Biddle, Robert; Garbajosa, Juan; Wang, Xiaofeng; Aguiar, Ademar [in: Agile Processes in Software Engineering and Extreme Programming: 19th International Conference, XP 2018]Stress is an important workplace issue, affecting both the health of individuals, and the health of organizations. Early advocacy for Agile Software Development suggested it might help avoid stress, with practices that emphasize a sustainable pace, and self-organizing teams. Our analysis of a 2014 survey, however, suggested that stress might still be commonplace in Agile teams, especially for those with less experience. We also noticed that newcomers to Agile emphasized technical, rather than collaborative, practices, and speculated this might explain the stress. We explored this in our analysis of a follow-up survey conducted in 2016, and report our findings in this paper. We show that there are a variety of factors involved, and that avoiding stress is associated with both collaborative and technical practices, and a range of outcomes.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift

- PublikationSources of satisfaction in agile software development(ACM, 2018) Kropp, Martin; Biddle, Robert; Meier, Andreas; Anslow, Craig [in: ACM/IEEE 40th International Conference on Software Engineering: Companion Proceedings (ICSE 2018)]In this paper we address the topic of satisfaction by analysis of the results of a national survey of software development in Switzerland. We found that satisfaction is reported more by those using Agile development than with plan-driven processes. We explored how satisfaction relates to oth-er elements in the development process, including the use of various practices, and the in!uences on business, team and software issues. We found that certain practices and in!uences have high correlations to satisfaction, and that collaborative processes are closely related to sat-isfaction, especially when combined with technical practices. Our intention in this analysis is principally descriptive, but we think the results are important to understand the challenges for everyone involved in Agile development, and can help in the transformation to Agile.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationUse of Gamification to Teach Agile Values and Collaboration: A multi-week Scrum simulation project in an undergraduate software engineering course(ACM, 2017) Kropp, Martin; Hof, Sonja; Landolt, Marla [in: ITiCSE' 17 Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education]Collaboration and communication are key to successful agile software development. Respect, openness, transparency and trust are core Agile values. However studies show, that there is a shortage of software developers with these skills. How can we teach these skills to software engineering students' This paper presents the approach of using a multi-week Scrum Paper City simulation game. The course execution was accompanied by a thorough evaluation to find out how effective this approach is compared to traditional ex-cathedra teaching. While the evaluation shows some aspects to be improved, it clearly shows that students like to experience the Agile approach directly in a project, that they enjoy more fun, and the collaboration in the team.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
