Agile and Traditional Methods in Software Projects: : Toward an Integrated Approach for IT consultants
- 2016

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Currently a debate exists among R&D management scholars in which Agile and Traditional (i.e. sequential/waterfall/ plan-driven) models are compared. Typically, this debate is driven from a polarized either/or perspective, where one (process) model is confronted to the other. Based on an in-depth ethnographic case study, within a Swedish IT consultancy firm, this paper aims to nuance this either/or perspective. More specifically, the paper investigates challenges of implementing Agile methodologies in client-specific IT projects. Findings reveal that, in contrast to consumer-oriented IT products, were products are released continuously, client-specific IT projects includes a contractual relation linked to a payment structure defining the delivery. Accordingly, in client-specific project a tension exists between on the one hand agility and on the other hand transparent and mutually agreed deliveries which needs to be managed. The current Agile-Traditional debate is dominated by an argumentation on the process level. In practice, processes are embodied and supported by a variety of (IT) tools. These tools may, or may not, support Agile methodologies and without considering these tools the implementation of Agile methodologies will only become a façade. Finally, the process needs also to be put in the context of initial project structure and customer involvement.
