Abstract:

Software development organizations use agile software development in order to e.g. increase transparency, reduce waste, and better meet customer expectations. Agile has also been seen as an enabler for relentless product innovation which is critical for growing amount of modern businesses.
Innovations and innovation management have been researched using diverse contexts, models and viewpoints. Due to this there are many innovation related studies also in the agile software development context. However, there seems to be little, if any, research on how the agile teams and the related stakeholders innovate. We are especially interested in what kind of process innovations are developed while using agile methodologies and how do these happen. This Academic Research Development Submission describes the planned research that aims to uncover the connection between agile software development and process innovations, as well as bring forward the concrete means to increase the chance of process innovations.
