ImpAct 2015 - 1st International Workshop on Impact of Agile Practices (ImpAct)

In Agile Software Development, there exist a large number of Agile Practices. Only for a small portion of them, e.g. pair programming, there is (objective) evidence available about their impact on different aspects of software development, e.g. development process, people, work products, and quality. Since evidence is needed for a founded and justifiable decision of which Agile Practices to use in response to specific development contexts, the primary purpose of this workshop is to discuss our current state of evidence on the impact of Agile Practices and to initiate the work on creating a knowledge base.
The workshop format will focus on interactive discussions and the elaboration of initial ideas of how to collect evidence on the impact of Agile Practices. Based on the outputs of the workshop, the plan is to publish results as a position paper in the SigSoft Notes or any other suitable medium (to be discussed in the group and depending on the type of results).
