Estudo de caso da relação entre valores culturais e adoção de práticas ágeis em uma startup

Abstract

The increasing and accelerated globalization, the fast technological evolution, the continuous climate and the high demand that predominate nowadays, have forced people and organizations to learn and adapt to constant changes in order to maintain their competitive advantages. To meet this demand, agile practices emerge, with the initial proposal of making the software creation and development process faster and more efficient, focusing mainly on delivering value to the customer. However, the lack of standardization makes it difficult for them to be implemented and accepted by organizations that want to adopt them. In addition to the difficulty of finding standards for applying agile practices, organizational culture was suggested as a critical factor affecting the adoption of agile practices. That said, this work conducts a case study of the relationship between cultural values and their positive or negative influence on the implementation of agile practices in the technology department of an organization focused on innovation.
