One Computer Science MSc thesis to be presented on 23 October

Thursday, 23 October there will be a master thesis presentation in Computer Science at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering.

The presentation will take place in E:4130 (Lucas).

Note to potential opponents: Register as an opponent to the presentation of your choice by sending an email to the examiner for that presentation (firstname [dot] lastname [at] cs [dot] lth [dot] se). Do not forget to specify the presentation you register for! Note that the number of opponents may be limited (often to two), so you might be forced to choose another presentation if you register too late. Registrations are individual, just as the oppositions are! More instructions for opponents are found here on the LTH thesis project page.

  • Presenter: Magnus Remnetorp
  • Title: Balancing Agile Development and Customer Deliveries: A Case Study
  • Examiner: Björn Regnell
  • Supervisor: Ulf Asklund (LTH)

This thesis examines how agile software development can be coordinated with externally driven customer deliveries in regulated industries, using aviation software project Arc as a case study. Applying a qualitative design method, which included a pre-study, interviews, observations, workflow analysis, thematic analysis, and model validation, the research suggests that there are coordination conflicts between agile teams and fixed delivery schedules. The results show that although the current practices in Arc provide flexibility, they rely on informal coordination, leading to instability in planning and development. As a response, the thesis proposed the "Layered Response Model". It combines ideas from SAFe, Lean, DevOps, and more into an approach which tries to consider both predictability and flexibility, while affected by the delivery constraints. Stakeholder validation verified that it is clear and relevant, although practical implications require testing through implementation. The study offers theoretical insights and practical recommendations for agile adaptation in constrained environments.
