Tillämpning av lättrörliga systemutvecklingsmetoder - en studie av systemutvecklingsprocessen i en ad hoc-krati

Abstract

Due to fast growing and rapid changes in markets today, most of the organizations that are trying keep up with these changes have a high demand for software that are of high quality and comes with a low price. To meet these goals software companies have to implement new methods to develop software that are suited for rapid changes. The concept of agile methods can fulfill this need. Our purpose with this thesis was to investigate how well agile methods could be applied in organizations that could be identified as adhocracies. A case study was conducted in an organization which we could identify as an adhocracy. During the project a construction was developed with extreme programming methods as a starting point. The conclusion is that agile methods core values are similar to those in adhocracies in a number of ways and the method that was constructed appears to fit very well in organizations that could be identified as adhocracies.
