Visualization of the observed types of reporting on each scaling level, based on the observations from the case study
Source publication
Application of agile software development methodologies in large-scale organizations is becoming increasingly common. However, working with multiple teams and on multiple products at the same time yields higher coordination and communication efforts compared to single-team settings for which agile methodologies have been designed originally. With t...

... These stories allow practitioners to learn from the successes and failures of others, offering guidance that is grounded in real experiences rather than abstract concepts. This observation is supported by studies such as Schüll et al. [68] and Trippensee and Remané [69], which also highlight that practical approaches in large-scale agile studies help bridge the gap between theory and practice. While theoretical frameworks provide a foundation for understanding agile principles, it is through practical applications that these principles are tested and refined. ...
Agile methodologies, initially designed for the project level, face challenges when applied at enterprise levels where complex projects and diverse stakeholders are involved. To meet this challenge, several large-scale agile methodologies have been proposed. However, these approaches are not flexible enough or tailored to the needs of organizations, projects, and their teams. It is in this context that hybrid methodologies have emerged. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review to trace the evolution of hybrid scaling of agile and characterize different approaches to implement it. This study starts by assessing 1509 studies through the use of the PRISMA 2020 framework and identifies 38 relevant studies in this field. The findings indicate that the majority of studies are from 2021 onwards and that qualitative methodologies supported by case studies predominate, making it possible to characterize tailoring processes in these organizations. Moreover, the implementation of hybrid scaling of agile is supported by the paradigm of ambidextrous strategy, a combination of agile with traditional project management methodologies, and continuous improvements. This study contributes insights into navigating the complexities of agile scaling, offering practical guidance for organizations seeking to optimize their project management practices.
... In recent years, agile methods have been increasingly used as an option to traditional software development methods [29,26,7,31,12] with the aim of facing the continuous changes that characterize the Information Technology (IT) industry. Agility offers flexibility, collaboration, and responsiveness to rapid changes, making it a popular choice for organizations seeking to adapt to the dynamic business landscape [8]. ...
... The present research is based on the Guidelines for Bibliometric Methods in Management and Organization [13] and the Integrated Methodology for Bibliometric Analysis [14]. In this sense, data obtained from the Scopus and Web of Science databases were integrated to perform the bibliometric analysis, in the search for an overview of the scientific production around agile organizations. ...
Agile organizations represent a transformation in the search for convergence in relation to the dynamic challenges of the environment, market transformations and the growing complexity of social systems. The objective of this study was to develop a descriptive bibliometric study to identify research trends on agile organizations. Web of Science and Scopus databases were used to retrieve scientific production. Bibliometric indicators of production, collaboration, visibility, and impact were analyzed. The analysis of 150 documents, with the total participation of 340 authors, showed a growth rate of 4% per year in the time interval from 1995 to the beginning of 2023. Dominant trends were identified with respect to the research topic, the first referring to the human factor, organizational innovation and organization and management, and the second, agile methods, agile transformations, agile software development and agile organizations.
