论文摘要
鉴于团队级别敏捷方法的流行和有效性,大型组织现在正试图通过采用大规模方法(例如缩放敏捷框架(SAFE),Spotify和大型Scrum(少)(较少)来模仿大规模的成功。但是,与传统上小规模方法的见解相比,现存的文献对研究大规模敏捷转化的理论提供了稀疏的覆盖范围。在本文中,我们关注规范化大规模敏捷转换并应用归一化过程理论(NPT)的挑战,以支持有关此过程的理论化。我们介绍了最初的案例研究结果,并概述了关于NPT在大规模转换中的应用的未来研究。从研究和实践的角度来看,我们解释了如何采用NPT来专注于嵌入和维持实践的过程,这些活动经常被忽略,但对于转型的成功或失败而言。
Given the prevalence and effectiveness of agile methods at a team level, large organizations are now attempting to mimic this success at large scale by adopting large-scale methods such as Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), Spotify, and Large Scale Scrum (LeSS). However, compared to insights on traditionally small scale methods, the extant literature provides sparse coverage on theories to examine large-scale agile transformations. In this article, we focus on the challenge of normalizing large scale agile transformations and apply Normalization Process Theory (NPT) to support theorize about this process. We present our initial case study findings and outline future research on the application of NPT for large-scale transformations. From a research and practice perspective, we explain how NPT can be adopted to focus on the processes of embedding and sustaining practices, activities which are very often ignored, yet central to the success or failure of transformations.
