Agile Development: The Promise, the Reality, the Opportunity

Open MIND · 2024-06-07

Agile Development has been an integral part of project management and product development since its formal introduction by the Agile Manifesto in 2001. Subsequently, Agile has rapidly gained in popularity, leading to significant improvements in on-time delivery and managing costs, as well as successful delivery of the required scope for information systems (IS) projects. Agile has even moved beyond the IS domain into other business applications. This success may be tempered somewhat by the gaps in the Agile Development process that still exist, such as a lack of complete understanding of the process or the culture changes necessary to achieve larger benefits and the complexity of integrating Agile-developed products into existing IT infrastructure. However, there is also great promise in extending Agile by incorporating new tools and concepts and applying Agile development to novel and emerging problem domains. This paper proposes a Framework for Agile Development that can be used to explore existing results from Agile development, as well as to identify future possibilities and emphasize the importance of teaching Agile development in order for it to have further influence on practice.

Systems Analysis and Design (SAND) is undoubtedly a pillar in the field of Information Systems (IS). Some researchers have even claimed that SAND is the field that defines the Information Systems discipline and is the core of information systems. The past decades have seen the development of Structured SAND methodologies and Object-Oriented Methodologies. In the early 1990s, key players in the field collaborated to develop the Unified Modeling Language and the Unified Process. Agile approaches followed, as did other dynamic methods. These approaches remain heavily employed in the development of contemporary information systems. At the same time, new approaches such as DevOps and DevSecOps continue to emerge. This paper curates these trends in SAND. It reviews past and present SAND research, discusses current challenges, and provides insights that can assist SAND researchers in identifying future SAND research streams and important future research directions.

Story Hour in the Management Classroom

Management Teaching Review · 2019-03-27 · 5 citations

Using stories written for young children can be effective in the education of college students. Storytelling is a helpful instructional method that is relevant to many management topics. This activity uses picture books, which can be read to students in “story hour” fashion and then tied to management principles being taught. This activity can be done successfully with either undergraduate or graduate students. The activity is described from a general perspective; in the appendices, we provide seven examples of book summaries, learning objectives, teaching notes, potential challenges, and debriefing questions that have been used to address a variety of management topics.

Management of Technology: A Three-Dimensional Framework with Propositions for Future Research

2017-07-12

This chapter presents definition of management of technology (MoT). Using the components from the definition, it also presents the proposed dimensions and develops the integrated framework. Building on that framework, the chapter suggests and explores avenues for future development and research on the management of technology. These research suggestions include issues related to the further refinement of the proposed framework, as well as suggestions for future research on specific areas of MoT that may be deficient. The purpose of a Three-Dimensional framework is to provide organization and structure to a body of information or knowledge. As the organizational environment escalates in complexity, it is increasingly important to be able to manage technology because of its impact on the economic well-being of the firm and, therefore, individuals. Propositions for future development and research on the MoT are derived from the model.

Improving the efficiency of a hospital pharmacy service: the journey of one hospital pharmacy

European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy · 2014-04-04 · 10 citations

<h3>Objectives</h3> This article describes key changes made within one hospital pharmacy department in the UK during on-going work to improve services and meet the aims of the National Health Service (NHS) Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) agenda. A series of projects designed to significantly increase the value of the service; reduce waste, increase efficiency and improve clinical services, without employing more staff, were undertaken. <h3>Methods</h3> The department used various change management techniques and lean methodologies to bring about change. This has been reinforced by robust and continual data collection and interpretation via run charts, to objectively demonstrate improvement. <h3>Results</h3> Average prescription turn-around times are approximately 25 minutes each day or less. Delays in provision of chemotherapy have fallen from around 60% to less than 5% of patients each day. Clinical pharmacists see approximately 98% of available inpatients each day and on average 92% of patients have their medicines reconciled within 24 h of admission. The Trust Medicines Management Improvement Group has also run a number of successful improvement projects to improve medicines safety. <h3>Conclusions</h3> The use of common change management techniques are applicable to hospital pharmacy and can result in measurable improvement in service delivery. It also indicates that the small size of a department is not necessarily a handicap to achieving better quality and efficiency in dispensary and chemotherapy production units, or in measurably addressing local and national patient safety concerns, without the need for additional staffing resources.

Where is the Wisdom We Have Lost in Technology

Americas Conference on Information Systems · 2013-01-01 · 1 citations

Wisdom has been at the heart of practical, philosophical, and theological interest since antiquity but is now attracting interdisciplinary scientific interest from academic researchers in diverse disciplines. Practical wisdom is important from the IS perspective because we have built information tools and technologies that can harm or benefit us in various ways and it is important that we understand the implications of these technologies. The purpose of this panel is to start and stimulate conversations with the IS community on a broad array of individual, organizational and societal issues at the intersection of wisdom and technology. The hope is to take the first steps to bring together disparate notions on wisdom in an IS context and to explore new frameworks to advance research in this emerging area representing wisdom-based IS. Broadly, this panel will explore topics relating to extending knowledge management concepts for wisdom; making meaningful distinctions between knowledge, wisdom, ethics, and other related concepts in the context of information systems teaching, research, and practice; the design, management, use, and implications of technologies for consciously discovering, creating, sharing, and supporting wisdom in individuals, organizations, and societies; interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary understanding of the nature of wisdom in a technology-driven world; and mindful living with and connected by technologies for personal, professional, and societal well-being.
