研究了一家跨国电信公司五年间在大规模软件开发中实施敏捷实践的情况,指出了六个可能损害个人学习、创意生成和利用能力的陷阱,并为大型成熟企业提供了避免这些负面后果的建议。
Originally developed for software development, Agile approaches are increasingly adopted by organizations that seek flexibility in the face of rapid change. However, little attention has been paid to the potential negative consequences of the implementation of Agile in large-scale settings. This article presents the results of a multi-site study of a multinational telecom company over five years during its implementation of Agile practices in the context of large-scale software development. The article points to six potential pitfalls of implementing such practices that may negatively influence individual learning, ideation, and exploitation capabilities. It offers advice on how to avoid these consequences in large, established firms.
