Summary: Brazilian IT executives are being challenged to play an active and important role in the innovation process within their organizations. The purpose of this study is to explore agile software development methods in facing this challenge. We deployed a practice theory framework, in particular that of Orlikowski, in order to analyze practices from seven agile methods – eXtreme Programming (XP), Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Scrum, Crystal, Agile Modeling (AM), Feature Driven Design (FDD) and Adaptive Software Development (ASD). Results show practices grouped into five underlying factors – learning, iteractive, customer, human and technical; in addition, they explain the shift in focus of the agile development in reference to previous methods, centering on the individual and their actions in social relations in place of essentially technical issues. Findings suggest that agile software development methods have principles and practices better suitable to the innovation challenge than their predecessors do. Furthermore, their practices can aid the organization in the constitution of institutional properties useful to the process of business model innovation.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi explorar o uso de métodos ágeis de desenvolvimento de software diante deste desafio. Usou-se a teoria das práticas, em particular a visão de Orlikowski, para analisar práticas presentes em sete métodos ágeis – eXtreme Programming (XP), Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Scrum, Crystal, Agile Modeling (AM), Feature Driven Design (FDD) e Adaptative Software Development (ASD). Nos resultados, encontram-se as práticas agrupadas em cinco fatores subjacentes – aprendizagem, cliente, interativo, humano e técnico –, mostrando, na sequência, a mudança de foco do desenvolvimento ágil em relação aos métodos anteriores, centrando-se para o indivíduo e suas ações nas relações sociais em substituição a questões essencialmente técnicas. Os resultados sugerem que os métodos ágeis de desenvolvimento de software apresentam princípios e práticas mais adequados ao desafio da inovação do que ofereciam seus antecessores. Adicionalmente, suas práticas podem auxiliar a organização na constituição de propriedades institucionais úteis à gestão do processo de inovação de modelos de negócio.Universidade Federal da Paraíba2011-12-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por Paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufpb.br/index.php/tpa/article/view/1184910.21714/2238-104X2011v1i1-11849Theory and Practice in Administration - TPA; Vol. 1 No. 1 (2011): Jul/Dez; pp. 74-96Teoria e Prática em Administração; v. 1 n. 1 (2011): Jul/Dez; pp. 74-962238-104Xreponame:Teoria e Prática em Administraçãoinstname:Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB)instacron:UFPBporhttps://periodicos.ufpb.br/index.php/tpa/article/view/11849/6963Dolci, Décio Bittencourtinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-08-24T13:59:45Zoai:periodicos.ufpb.br:article/11849Revistahttps://periodicos.ufpb.br/index.php/tpaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufpb.br/index.php/tpa/oaipjacome@sti.ufpb.br || tpa@ccsa.ufpb.br || marcelodesouzabispo@gmail.com || periodicos.ufpb@gmail.com2238-104X2238-104Xopendoar:2020-08-24T13:59:45Teoria e Prática em Administração - Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB)false
