Enterprise architecture contribution in distributed agile software development
Geographically distributed agile development may experience a high failure rate due to communication issues, which has a negative influence on project performance. One suggested solution in the literature is to enhance both communication and project performance by implementing agile enterprise architecture. However, the empirical evidence that supports this claim is still scarce. To address this gap, this study empirically explores the role of agile enterprise architecture as an artifact in distributed agile development. The findings of an in‐depth qualitative case study from a dispersed agile development organization that involves teams distributed over three locations are used in this work. Over 2 months, data was gathered by interviewing 12 key members of the team and watching three Sprint sessions of agile software development. Text analysis qualitative approach was used to analyze the data. The findings imply that agile enterprise architecture has a positive effect on distributed agile software development communication, quality, and functionality. Agile enterprise architecture may also support on‐time completion, but a trade‐off with on‐budget may be necessary. These findings provide valuable insights, frameworks, and best practices that support organizations in achieving greater agility, collaboration, and success in their distributed software development initiatives. As this is one of the first studies to look at the influence of agile enterprise architecture on distributed agile software development communication and performance, further research is needed to confirm and expand on the conclusions of this study.
期刊介绍：
Systems Engineering is a discipline whose responsibility it is to create and operate technologically enabled systems that satisfy stakeholder needs throughout their life cycle. Systems engineers reduce ambiguity by clearly defining stakeholder needs and customer requirements, they focus creativity by developing a system’s architecture and design and they manage the system’s complexity over time. Considerations taken into account by systems engineers include, among others, quality, cost and schedule, risk and opportunity under uncertainty, manufacturing and realization, performance and safety during operations, training and support, as well as disposal and recycling at the end of life. The journal welcomes original submissions in the field of Systems Engineering as defined above, but also encourages contributions that take an even broader perspective including the design and operation of systems-of-systems, the application of Systems Engineering to enterprises and complex socio-technical systems, the identification, selection and development of systems engineers as well as the evolution of systems and systems-of-systems over their entire lifecycle.
Systems Engineering integrates all the disciplines and specialty groups into a coordinated team effort forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to realization to operation. Increasingly important topics in Systems Engineering include the role of executable languages and models of systems, the concurrent use of physical and virtual prototyping, as well as the deployment of agile processes. Systems Engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of all stakeholders with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user needs. Systems Engineering may be applied not only to products and services in the private sector but also to public infrastructures and socio-technical systems whose precise boundaries are often challenging to define.
