Governance in large-scale distributed agile projects (2017-2020)

This research project focuses on determining how to balance the needs for governance and quality control in large-scale distributed organizations and the team needs for autonomy. Our intention is to provide actionable guidelines for scaling agile governance in a distributed context, and reported knowledge to be aware of organizational contexts in which team autonomy is inherently hindered. The research goes beyond the team’s inner workings, and addresses such context factors as organizational structure, distribution, supervision, control, reward systems, training, and resource management. ​
