Abstract

CONTEXT Software development organizations extensively adapt Agile methods due to the promising and appealing benefits and values it adds to the software products and overall software development process. Large-scale agile refers to the process of developing and delivering enterprise systems and software with a significant number of groups. Several studies have been carried out to determine the challenges, still, the research area is in its infancy, and more research is needed to uncover the issues and practices that large-scale agile development is facing.

OBJECTIVE – The main purpose of this study is to explore the challenges in knowledge sharing in large-scale agile software development (LSASD), and its relevant solutions/practices to address the identified challenges, and further validate it from software practitioners globally.

METHOD – We conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify the challenges that LSASD faces. A total of 48 papers provided data for the identification of challenges and practices. Further, we conducted an online questionnaire survey to validate the SLR results. We received 52 responses from relevant practitioners from various countries.

RESULTS – To answer the first research question, we used SLR which resulted in 9 challenges along with the relevant 39 practices. In the second phase, we validated the identified challenges and practices through an online questionnaire survey.

CONCLUSION- Large-scale agile software development is desperately needed today. Our efforts will assist software vendor organizations in developing systems while keeping the LSASD's pinpointed issues in mind. These practices will assist the practitioners in overcoming the challenges in knowledge sharing at large-scale agile software development.
