Social conditions leading to Scrum process breakdowns during Global Agile Software Development: a theory of practice perspective by Tanner, Maureen Cynthia

“…The study has identified various forms of Scrum process breakdowns occurring during and after sprint planning and retrospective meetings: » Different perceptions about task urgency at the software development sites » Disagreements on the suitability of software engineering practices » Low level of communication openness during meetings involving the whole GASD team compared to internal meetings at the sites » Impromptu changes to user stories' content and priorities » Product Owner's low level of authority » Disagreements on estimation mechanisms » Number of User Stories to be completed during the Sprint Is imposed on the team » Decisions on Scrum process updates not made by the development team » Selective invitation to retrospective meetings In addition, various social conditions were identified as possibly leading to the emergence of these Scrum process breakdowns in the GASD context: » GASD project stakeholders' low level of capital in the joint field » Different beliefs and values because of multiple fields Two theoretical propositions were derived to describe the social conditions and the corresponding Scrum process breakdowns which are likely to emerge under these conditions.…”

The role of mapping in enhancing collaboration and decision-making processes around urban natural assets: a case study of Lilongwe, Malawi by Schröder, Claudia

“…These reasons include outdated city planning laws and regulations that do not refer to the map; politics surrounding the enforcement of these laws and regulations even if they were to be updated; the lack of capacity, especially in the GIS department, in order to update the maps; Lilongwe city does not have ownership of land meaning there are often intimidation tactics by developers; and limited funding to implement and mainstream the map in decision making processes. However, while the actual map might not be used to its full potential, the collaborative process changed the way certain decisions are being made in the Lilongwe City Council, especially in relation to city planning practices. …”
