Agility in information systems development: A three-tiered framework

Research output: Chapter in Book or Conference Publication/ProceedingConference Publicationpeer-review

Abstract

The Agile Manifesto was put forward in 2001, and several method instantiations, such as XP, SCRUM and Crystal exist. Each adheres to some principles of the Agile Manifesto and disregards others. This paper proposes that these Agile Manifesto principles are insufficiently grounded in theory, and are largely naive to the concept of agility outside the field of software development. This research aims to develop a broad, three-tiered framework of ISD agility based on a thorough review of agility across many disciplines. The framework identifies the sources of agility, a classification of agile activities, and the resources utilized by such activities.
