Abstract

Prior work on leadership in information systems development (ISD) teams has assumed that all developers are treated equally by their team leader and ignored the possibility that differentiated leader-member exchange (LMX) may be an important instrument for team leaders to influence self-organizing, agile ISD teams. We conducted a concurrent mixed methods inquiry to understand how LMX differentiation is associated with developer satisfaction in agile ISD teams and through which team processes agile ISD teams address LMX differentiation. We ran a multilevel, multistage survey of 1,894 software developers in 217 teams and an embedded case study of five ISD teams drawing on qualitative data from 40 interviews of developers and team leaders. Two focus groups (one with 10 developers and one with 10 team leaders) helped to substantiate the meta-inferences from the quantitative and qualitative studies. The results showed that LMX differentiation was positively associated with developer satisfaction, especially in teams with high-quality team-member exchange (TMX). We identify three team processes (i.e., collectivization of resources, visible appreciation of privileges, and freeing up leader capacities) that are enacted through agile ISD practices and allow ISD teams to leverage benefits from LMX differentiation for all their members.

Abstract

Context: Collaboration is an important aspect of DevOps. However, researchers continue to report problems with collaboration between development and operations. Objective: We aim to contribute to a better understanding of collaboration in the context of DevOps, especially to aid in adopting DevOps. Method: We conducted a literature review on collaboration and corresponding success factors. For practice we classified the factors into factors influencing the likelihood of collaboration and factors influencing the performance of collaboration, to aid in the adoption of DevOps. We will validate the factors of collaboration in a DevOps context using an inductive approach, i.e. semi-structured interviews and document studies. Results: We developed an initial framework of success factors and classified the found success factors. Subsequently we conducted two interviews. We learned that most factors are considered as important, however few factors could be confirmed and no more factors are added. We will interview the other respondents to prove the applicability of the framework. Which may identify promising avenues for further development of the framework. Conclusions: This is study is not finalized yet, therefore we cannot fully answer the main research question. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
