Abstract
Software development firms have specific goals but today's dynamic business environment, especially regarding the use of remote teams, presents great challenges due to uncertainties and multiple risks. This study investigates the facilitators of the success of Agile software development projects delivered by remote teams. We employ a conceptual research model founded on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. The study contributes to the literature by exploring how remote teams affect the success of Agile software development projects. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis of the data collected from 198 IT professionals revealed that perceived pressure from government, job performance, and team satisfaction are significant in explaining these projects’ success.
软件开发公司都有特定的目标,但由于不确定性和多重风险,当今多变的商业环境,尤其是远程团队的使用,带来了巨大的挑战。本研究探讨了远程团队交付的敏捷软件开发项目取得成功的促进因素。我们采用了建立在技术-组织-环境(TOE)框架基础上的概念研究模型。本研究通过探讨远程团队如何影响敏捷软件开发项目的成功,为相关文献做出了贡献。通过对从 198 名 IT 专业人员那里收集到的数据进行偏最小二乘结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)分析,发现感知到的政府压力、工作绩效和团队满意度对解释这些项目的成功具有重要意义。
期刊介绍:
Information and Software Technology is the international archival journal focusing on research and experience that contributes to the improvement of software development practices. The journal''s scope includes methods and techniques to better engineer software and manage its development. Articles submitted for review should have a clear component of software engineering or address ways to improve the engineering and management of software development. Areas covered by the journal include:
• Software management, quality and metrics,
• Software processes,
• Software architecture, modelling, specification, design and programming
• Functional and non-functional software requirements
• Software testing and verification & validation
• Empirical studies of all aspects of engineering and managing software development
Short Communications is a new section dedicated to short papers addressing new ideas, controversial opinions, "Negative" results and much more. Read the Guide for authors for more information.
The journal encourages and welcomes submissions of systematic literature studies (reviews and maps) within the scope of the journal. Information and Software Technology is the premiere outlet for systematic literature studies in software engineering.
