Theoretical and Conceptual Foundations

Christoph Schmidt

Chapter Chapter 3 in Agile Software Development Teams, 2016, pp 37-63 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the study by introducing a theoretical research model with five empirically testable research propositions. The theoretical basis of the study was developed with insights from team effectiveness research and literature on agile software development. The central proposition of this study is that agile software development not only directly influences the performance of a software development team, but that it also triggers affective, behavioral, and cognitive teamwork mechanisms. Insights into these hidden effects within agile teams are expected to advance the theoretical understanding and evaluation of agile software development by integrating previously separated literature streams.
