Agile methodologies have become a popular and widely accepted method for managing software development. Since the inception of the Agile Manifesto over ten years ago, agile development techniques have superseded waterfall methods in many, if not most, software development organizations.

Practitioners consider the focus of Agile Software Development and Enterprise Architecture Management as divergent. Following this view, two questions arise and are answered by this paper: whether and how agile methods such as Scrum can be used to create architecture deliverables and how enterprise architects can collaborate with agile software development teams. Based on expert interviews in a major...
Agile development approaches, such as Scrum, continue to gain importance in today's world. Since previous research has predominantly treated development approaches as a black box, we answer the call for empirical research concerning adoption of agile methods. The study's aim is to assess the adoption or adaption of Scrum principles at an e-commerce company. The findings of our in-depth single case...

As their introduction considerably changes traditional working habits of developers, the long-term acceptance of agile methodologies becomes a critical success factor. Yet, current studies primarily examine the early adoption stage of agile methodologies. To investigate the long-term acceptance, we conducted a study...
Agile development has received increasing interest both in industry and academia due to its benefits in developing software quickly, meeting customer needs, and keeping pace with the rapidly changing requirements. However, agile practices and Scrum in particular have been mainly tested in mid-to large-size projects. We present findings from a case study of agile practices in a small-scale, time-intensive...
