Issues, challenges, and a proposed theoretical core of agile software development research
本文梳理了敏捷软件开发（ASD）的研究现状，指出缺乏统一的理论核心，并提出了一个理论核心，旨在澄清对信息系统敏捷性至关重要的要素，为理解方法裁剪提供启示。
Abstract Over the last two decades, agile software development (ASD) has garnered much attention in both research and practice. Several ASD methods and techniques have been developed and studied. In particular, researchers have provided several theoretical perspectives on ASD and contributed rich insights to the ASD practice. Still, despite calls for a more unified theoretical understanding of ASD, a theoretical core of ASD has not been identified. This paper offers a theoretical core of ASD research, clarifying what is essential and what is less essential for IS agility, hoping to spark a scholarly discussion, and provides implications of such a core for understanding method tailoring.
