Abstract

Adopting agile methods requires an understanding of both the mechanics and the dynamics of value creation in software organizations. From a mechanics perspective, successful agile adoption is about ensuring that project stakeholders are aligned toward a common project objective, employees have the ability to make decisions at the right level of abstraction, that there is effective project management, and an environment exists that supports individual and group learning. The dynamics of value creation require an understanding of organizational-level stakeholders and their value propositions, the development of an organizational learning system, and last but not least, an effective governance strategy. This paper uses the lessons learned a case study of GameDevCo to illustrate these organizational enablers for agile adoption.
