Publikation Waste self-reporting for software development productivity improvement(Springer, 2023) Sallin, Marc; Kropp, Martin; Anslow, Craig; Biddle, Robert; Stettina, Christoph J.; Garbajosa, Juan; Kruchten, PhilippeLittle research has been done on enabling software development teams to self-report waste to assist in productivity improvement. This study created a waste categorization and survey for teams to identify and quantify wasteful activities. Developers from a Swiss company used the survey for three weeks. Participants found the survey helpful for identifying waste but there was little evidence that self-reported waste correlated with improved performance.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Satisfaction and its correlates in agile software development(Elsevier, 2020) Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas; Anslow, Craig; Biddle, Robert01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Interactive Digital Cardwalls for Agile Software Development(Springer, 2016) Kropp, Martin; Brown, Judith M.; Anslow, Craig; Gossage, Stevenson; Mateescu, Magdalena; Biddle, Robert; Anslow, Craig; Campos, Pedro; Jorge, Joaquim04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Stress in Agile Software Development: Practices and Outcomes(Springer, 2018) Meier, Andreas; Kropp, Martin; Anslow, Craig; Biddle, Robert; Garbajosa, Juan; Wang, Xiaofeng; Aguiar, Ademar04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Agile Software Development: Practices, Self-Organization, and Satisfaction(Springer, 2021) Biddle, Robert; Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas; Anslow, Craig; Pfeiffer, Sabine; Nicklich, Manuel; Sauer, Stefan04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Satisfaction and its correlates in agile software development(Elsevier, 06/2020) Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas; Anslow, Craig; Biddle, RobertIn this paper we address the topic of software development team members satisfaction with their development process. We present an in-depth analysis of the results of a nationwide survey about software development in Switzerland. We wanted to find out if satisfaction relates to the applied development method, and to the use of various practices, and impacts on business, team and software issues. We found that higher satisfaction is reported more by those using Agile development than with plan-driven processes. We explored the different perspectives of developers and those with a management role and found a high consistency of satisfaction between Agile developers and Agile management, and differences with those using working plan-driven methods. We found that certain practices and impacts have high correlations to satisfaction, and that collaborative processes are closely related to satisfaction. We then explored the relationship between satisfaction and various other perspectives. Our results in this analysis are principally descriptive, but we think they can be a relevant contribution to understand the challenges for everyone involved in Agile development.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Myagile: sociological and cultural effects of agile on teams and their members(ACM, 2018) Biddle, Robert; Meier, Andreas; Kropp, Martin; Anslow, Craig04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Sources of satisfaction in agile software development(ACM, 2018) Kropp, Martin; Biddle, Robert; Meier, Andreas; Anslow, CraigIn 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 KonferenzschriftPublikation Stress in Agile Software Development: Practices and Outcomes(Springer, 2018) Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas; Anslow, Craig; Biddle, Robert; Garbajosa, Juan; Wang, Xiaofeng; Aguiar, AdemarStress 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 KonferenzschriftPublikation Teaching Agile Collaboration Skills in the Classroom(IEEE, 2016) Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas; Biddle, RobertAgile methodologies like Scrum or Extreme Programming have come a long way over the last fifteen years. Recent quantitative studies show that many companies have successfully adopted agile methodologies. It was found that in agile software development, experience leads to collaboration. It could also be shown that successful professional agile teams tend to use more collaboration practices. In 2013, the new Computer Science studies at the University of Applied Sciences were started. For this, a new curriculum was developed. This paper presents and discusses the lectures, labs and educational software projects in the programming and software engineering modules. It is discussed how agile collaboration and collaboration practices can be taught in the classroom. For this, the setup and observations of an agile student project are presented and different online collaboration tools are discussed. It is argued that software engineering education benefits significantly from embracing the modern collaboration tools the Internet has made available.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
