| Popis: | Agile software practices are widely used in a great variety of organizations,and the shift from traditional plan-driven approaches entails a redefinitionof processes in these organizations. Intrafirm knowledge transfer of agilesoftware practices between projects is a key concern in this redefinition.While knowledge transfer is essential for an organization to develop or keepits competitive advantage, it is also both difficult and time consuming, dueto a wide range of barriers. Transferring knowledge on agile practices iseven more complex due to there being a high degree of tacit knowledge.Research on knowledge of agile practices focuses on adoption of agilepractices within a single team, thus extant research lacks focus on intrafirmtransfer. Through a case study, this article investigates the intrafirm knowledgetransfer of agile practices. With a starting point as the theory ofbarriers to knowledge transfer, we modify and extend the framework totransferring knowledge of agile practices. This framework is subsequentlyapplied for interpreting and analyzing the case study data. The analysisshows how these barriers (e.g., the organizational culture, time andresources, knowledge strategy, and motivation and willingness) are relatedand that they cannot be understood in isolation. The barriers and theirrelations are brought together in a conceptual model and its relevance isdiscussed. |
