XP 2020 Workshops Copenhagen, Denmark, June 8-12, 2020 Revised Selected Papers

A Springer OPEN ACCESS.

Preface

This volume contains papers from the research workshops, the agile education and training track, the doctoral symposium, as well as summaries of the research workshops and a panel presented at the 21st International Conference on Agile Software Development (XP 2020), held June 8—12, 2020. Although it was planned to take place at the IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was very successfully held online.

XP is the premier agile software development conference combining research and practice. It is a unique forum where agile researchers, practitioners, thought leaders, coaches, and trainers get together to present and discuss their most recent innovations, research results, experiences, concerns, challenges, and trends. XP conferences provide an informal environment to learn and trigger discussions and welcome both people new to agile and seasoned agile practitioners.

The XP 2020 research papers were published in the conference proceedings, volume LNBIP 383. This companion volume, published after the conference, contains selected workshop papers and workshops summaries, as well as three papers from the doctoral symposium, two papers from the agile education and training track, and one panel summary.

The research workshops, the agile education and training track, and the doctoral symposium provide a highly relevant, friendly, and interactive platform to share and discuss emerging and late-breaking research findings as well as educational experiments and experiences. They represent smaller, close communities of passionate, emerging and established researchers, and a psychologically safe environment to provide and receive feedback. The publication of the post-conference proceedings allows the researchers and educators to submit their papers, feedback, and lessons learned from their participation in the conference and workshop sessions.

In 2020, the following six workshops took place:

Third International Workshop on Software-Intensive Business

8th International Workshop on Large-Scale Agile Development

Second European Symposium on Serverless Computing and Applications Second International Workshop on Agile Transformation

First International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming Third International Workshop on Autonomous Agile Teams

In addition to the workshop papers and summaries, these post-conference proceedings include papers from:

e Agile education and training track e Doctoral symposium

Finally, we include a summary of a panel discussion:

e COVID-19’s Influence on the Future of Agile vi Preface

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the people who contributed to XP 2020: the authors, reviewers, chairs, and volunteers. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to the XP Steering Committee and the Agile Alliance for their ongoing support.
