The thesis focuses on concrete application of the selected agile methodologies on the designed new software development methodology in the company Firma 2.0. The theoretical section briefly characterizes agile methodologies in general and then focuses on their representative sample, and thus Scrum, Kanban, SAFe and LeSS and the DevOps movement, which build a framework for the practical section. The selected components, which are used in the second part, are emphasized. Importantly, all of the methodologies are based on the agile manifesto and thanks to that are mutually combinable. The practical section introduces the company Firmy 2.0 together with its existing software development methodology, which is currently insufficient. The shortages are described as bottlenecks of the methodology itself as well as issues of process management of the company. The newly designed software methodology eliminates those drawbacks and integrates new elements and terminology in order to better correspond with the current processes in the company. The main contribution of the thesis is seen in the new design of software development methodology for a small company, which can also be potentially used outside of the company Firma 2.0, associated with a sound theoretical background.

Após a seleção dos trabalhos, uma primeira análise foi realizada, resultando na identificação e classificação destes estudos em seis tipos de abordagens entre os estudos primários da RSL, que facilitaram a coleta e a interpretação dos dados obtidos posteriormente durante a aplicação do protocolo de pesquisa. A aplicação do protocolo permitiu a síntese das respostas às questões de pesquisa, que formaram um panorama das abordagens ágeis em BPM, esclarecendo as motivações para a sua utilização, as etapas do ciclo BPM as quais são aplicáveis, a forma de implantação, as principais características, as ferramentas e arquiteturas de sistema que as apoiam, os seus benefícios e desafios. A pesquisa buscou colaborar com o desenvolvimento do gerenciamento de processos de negócio através da construção de um conhecimento que possa ser incorporado aos futuros projetos de implantação e propõe a realização de pesquisas aplicadas relacionadas ao tema para aprofundar o entendimento e consolidar a importância das abordagens ágeis no contexto de BPM. / This study aimed to understand the adoption of agile approaches in BPM by using a systematic review, collecting and selecting studies published in important scientific sources related to the area, to answer the research questions set for this purpose. After a first analysis, the studies were classified into six types of approaches, which facilitated the collection and interpretation of data subsequently obtained during the application of the research protocol. The application of the protocol enabled the synthesis of the answers to research questions, which formed an overview of agile approaches in BPM, explaining the reasons for their use, in which stages of the BPM life cycle they are applicable, how to implement them, the main features, tools and system architectures that support them, their benefits and challenges. The research sought to collaborate with the development of business process management by building a knowledge that can be incorporated into future project implementation and proposes new applied research related to the theme to consolidate the importance of agile approaches in BPM context.

Die Anwendung agiler Arbeitsweisen rückt zunehmend in den Interessensfokus unterschiedlicher Bereiche in produzierenden Unternehmen. Eine erhöhte Reaktionsfähigkeit auf unvorhergesehene Veränderungen im Kontext, Steigerung der Transparenz bezüglich Arbeitsinhalt und Auslastung im Entwicklerteam sowie das erschaffen und Vorantreiben einer übergeordneten Teamvision und damit verbundene Performancesteigerungen sind nur einige der positiven Effekte, die hierdurch erzielt werden sollen. Da die genutzten Ansätze jedoch meist auf Best Practices aus der Branche der Softwareentwicklung resultieren, stellen sie die Bereiche in produzierenden Unternehmen vor neue Herausforderungen, wie den Umgang mit Normen und Standards im agilen Arbeiten, Datenschutz bei der Erfassung von Arbeitsaufwänden und den Umgang mit physischen Produkteigenschaften. Damit die Einführung von Agilität in die Abläufe produzierender Unternehmen nachhaltig erfolgt, wurde eine Methodik entwickelt, mittels derer ein individueller Prozess bestehend aus agilen und strukturierenden Elementen abgeleitet werden kann. Im vorliegenden Beitrag soll diese Methodik hinsichtlich ihrer Zweckmäßigkeit untersucht werden, um daraus in zukünftigen Forschungsarbeiten eine Weiterentwicklung dieser Methodik abzuleiten. Dies erfolgt in einem realen Anwendungsfall – dem Änderungsmanagement eines deutschen OEMs in der Automobilindustrie. Hierzu wurde der hier existierende Prozess beobachtet und erfasst, Interviews mit betroffenen Mitarbeitern geführt und Potentiale für eine Prozessverbesserung durch die Integration agiler Elemente definiert. Diese wurden im Anschluss ebenfalls im Zuge der Methodik zur Entwicklung der individuellen agilen Prozesslösung durch eine zum Anwendungsfall passende Gesamtmethode realisiert. Die Evaluation des Vorgehens hat gezeigt, dass der Anspruch der Individualität der entwickelten Gesamtmethode gegeben ist, jedoch noch kleinere Verbesserungspotentiale bestehen.

Potreba dodania hodnoty uživatelom každodočne rastie na kompetitívnom trhu IT. Agilita a DevOps sa stávajú kritickými aspektami pre vývoj software, vyhľadávajúci nástroje ktoré podporujú agilnú kultúru. Softwarové projekty v agilnej kultúre majú častú tendenciu zaoberať sa stratégiami nasadenia ktoré redukujú risk nasadenia nových zmien do existujúceho systému. A však, prostredia určené pre vývoj a testovanie sa takmer vždy odlišujú od produkčných. Využitie primeranej stratégie nasadenie ako canary zlepšuje celkovú stabilitu systému testovaním nových zmien na malej vzorke produkčnej prevádzky. Bolo vykonaných niekoľko experimentov pre dôkaz, že stratégia canary môže pozitívne ovplyvniť stabilitu nasadení a redukovať risk ktorý prinášajú nové zmeny.

Allt fler storskaliga organisationer vänder sig till agila projektledningsmetoder för att bli mer konkurrenskraftiga i den snabbrörliga ekonomin, ofta benämnd en VUCA-miljö. Olika ramverk har därför utformats för att hjälpa företag att skala upp det agila arbetet, varav SAFe är det mest populära. Antalet akademiska undersökningar inom ämnesområdet är emellertid fåtaliga. Denna studie söker sålunda bringa klarhet kring varför stora organisationer initierar agila omvandlingar i enlighet med SAFe, vilka utmaningar det medför och hur dessa kan mitigeras. Detta genom en kvalitativ undersökning på Länsförsäkringar AB och Nordea. Resultatet indikerar att transformationer som sådana i synnerhet medför kommunikations- och koordinationsproblem, medan en kontextuell anpassning av ramverket kan vara en lyckad mitigationsåtgärd. Vidare visar resultatet att storskaliga organisationer inte nödvändigtvis är kompatibla med den agila metodiken. Anmärkningsvärt är emellertid att förändringsinitiativet av vissa respondenter också betraktades som ett steg i att bli en attraktivare arbetsgivare, utöver att bli mer effektiva och snabbfotade.
