Last Call - AMCIS 2025 CFP: Agile Project Management Minitrack

[uchpet]

Dear Colleagues, We invite you to submit your research to our mini-track, Agile Project Management. This minitrack focuses on enhancing our understanding of agile methods in IT project management. Agile methodologies are a large part of IT project management, focused on reducing the cost and time for changes made throughout the software development process, and rely heavily on teamwork. Thus, team members must understand the factors that drive project success using agile methodologies. Also, organizations struggle to sustain agile methodologies long-term and manage a potentially diverse range of agile projects at the portfolio level. These and related items are of interest for this mini-track. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:Agile and adaptive IT project management versus traditional managementAgile project portfolio managementBest practices in agile project managementChallenges in implementing and sustaining agile methodologiesCommunication and interaction on agile teamsControls used in agile teamsDecision-making and governance in agile teamsEvaluation and reward systems used by Agile teamsManaging co-located, virtual, and/or distributed agile teamsCritical success factors in agile project managementNavigating the digital transformation process using agile methodsTrends in Agile Project Management Agile methodologies strive to reduce the cost of change throughout the software development process and improve development quality and timeliness. Though success stories of adopting agile methodologies exist, managers struggle with maintaining agile methodologies long-term. Agile methodologies rely heavily on teams and teamwork. Therefore, management must better understand the factors that agile teams drive project success. These may include selecting appropriate team personnel, developing effective team communication processes, creating an open work environment, ensuring correct decisions are made, implementing appropriate controls, encouraging continuous customer communication, and establishing evaluation and reward systems for individual and team performance. A further difficulty is managing a potentially diverse range of agile projects at the portfolio level. Agile project portfolio management provides opportunities that a traditional project portfolio would not allow, such as more transparent metrics, frequent management review meetings, and a quicker readjustment of project priorities and resources. ***IMPORTANT DATES****January 13, 2025: System opens for Completed and ERF paper submissions*February 28, 2025: Submissions are due at 5 p.m. EST We are excited to receive your submissions.
