Abstract

Agile software development projects executed in larger project environments often struggle to succeed, despite overall framework conditions being considered good. This often can be related to agile cultures clashing with nonagile cultures, thus leading agile and non-agile value systems into conflict. This paper is a result of my research regarding patterns of value based conflicts of agile software development projects. The patterns shall help to identify aforementioned conflicts and provide a short-term approach to aim for short-term improvements and a long-term approach, to address the value conflicts themselfes when using Agile approaches.
