    Satisfaction, Practices, and Influences in Agile Software Development
    (ACM, 2018) Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas; Anslow, Craig; Biddle, Robert [in: EASE 2018 - 22nd International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering]
    The principles behind the Agile Manifesto begin with "Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer...". It also states that Agile projects should be build around motivated and self-organized teams, which might also lead to more satisfied developers. Several studies indeed report an increased job satisfaction by anecdotal evidence. In this paper we address the topic of satisfaction by in-depth analysis of the results of a nationwide survey about software development in Switzerland. We wanted to find out if satisfaction depends on the applied development method, and, more concrete, how satisfaction relates to other elements in the development process, including the use of various practices, and the influences on business, team and software issues.

    aWall: Agile Collaboration using Large Digital Multi-Touch Cardwalls
    (12/2016) Anslow, Craig; Burkhard, Roger; Kropp, Martin; Mateescu, Magdalena; Vischi, Dario; Zahn, Carmen [in: IMVS Fokus Report]
    Despite the availability of many digital agile board tools, most co-located agile software teams still use physical cardboards for their daily standup meetings. This is due to the fact that existing digital agile boards lacks supporting a collaborative workspace, direct interaction for the whole team in meetings, or making project information directly visible. In this paper we present aWall, a digital agile cardwall designed for the highly collaborative agile work style using large multi-touch wall displays. The effectiveness of aWall was evaluated in a user study with eleven software practitioners. Our findings indicate that aWall enables and encourages team work due to the large size of the wall, accessibility and visibility of large amounts of information, and possibility of customization of the interface. Based on this work, we suggest that augmenting digital cardwalls with large interactive touch technology and new interaction concepts is a useful way to support effective collaborative agile software development processes.

    Erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit in agilen Teams. Ergebnisse einer Interview-Studie über Zusammenarbeit, Kommunikation und Koordination sowie den Einsatz von Tools in agilen Software Projekten in der Schweiz
    (12/2015) Burkhard, Roger; Greiwe, Stephanie; Kropp, Martin; Mateescu, Magdalena; Zahn, Carmen
    Kommunikation und Interaktion spielen eine zentrale Rolle in agilen Teams. Kombiniert mit den agilen Prinzipien wie selbst-bestimmte Teams, vollständige Kundeneinbindung oder sehr häufi-gen Releases ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen an die Zusammenarbeit im agilen Team. Doch wie sehen diese in der Praxis Schweizer Unternehmen und Firmen aus? Wie kommunizieren und kooperieren erfolgreiche agile Teams in der Realität? Neben der quantitativen Swiss Agile Study , www.swissagilestudy.ch, zum Einsatz agiler Methoden in der Softwareentwicklung im Jahr 2012 hat sich die Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz im Sommer 2013 in einem Forschungsprojekt mittels einer Interview Studie vertiefend mit der Thematik der agilen Teamarbeit in der Schweiz befasst. Dazu wurden Gruppeninterviews in elf agil arbeitenden IT-Unternehmen in der Schweiz realisiert.

    Qualitative Study of Successful Agile Software Development Projects
    (12/2014) Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas [in: IMVS Fokus Report]
    Various studies show that the agile method has become a mainstream methodology for software development. When agile pioneers introduced this approach, they executed very successful projects which lead to the enormous popularity of agile development. With becoming mainstream, less experienced teams started to apply the agile approaches and news about failed agile projects appeared. This raises the question, what it needs to conduct successful agile projects. In a qualitative study we asked IT companies about the essential success factors in their successful agile projects. We found that there was a strong focus on engineering and management best practices. We found that when these practices did not work, mature teams sensed that following a recipe is not sufficient, and they started adapting the agile process to their needs. Applying a sense-making methodology like the Cynefin framework, theoretically explains our observations in the study.

    Teaching Agile Software Development at University Level
    (12/2013) Kropp, Martin; Meier, Andreas [in: IMVS Fokus Report]
    Several recent surveys show that agile methodologies like Scrum, Extreme Programming and Kanban have been successfully adopted by many companies for software development. However, the same surveys show that only few of the agile practices are applied consequently and thoroughly. This is to a great extent due to the lack of skilled personnel. In this paper we propose a more holistic approach for teaching agile software development, in which the required agile practices and values are not only integrated theoretically into our courses but also practically applied. The proposed concept was realized in a new a course at Zurich University of Applied Sciences during 2012. The evaluation shows very encouraging results.

    Automatisierung von Systemtests im industriellen Umfeld
    (12/2011) Kellner, Anja; Kropp, Martin [in: IMVS Fokus Report]
    Continuous Integration Umgebungen werden in der Regel im Software-Entwicklungszyklus für die kontinuierliche Integration der Software eingesetzt. In diesem Artikel zeigen wir, dass sich solche Systeme auch hervorragend für die Realisierung von automatisierten Testinfrastrukturen im industriellen Umfeld eignen. Im vorliegenden Anwendungsfall wird damit eine fast vollständig automatisierte System- und Akzeptanztestumgebung von Softwareprodukten zur Überwachung und Steuerung von Messtechnik-Sensoren erreicht.
