- This journal paper presents a thematic analysis of data from over 150 industry practitioners about the challenges they face in transforming their IT functions towards agility, along with findings from an in-depth organisational case study. The paper has been highly cited and was an invited extension of an international conference paper that is also highly cited and that won Best Paper Award at the International Conference on Agile Software Development 2015. The work has been influential in identifying areas where software engineering practice improvements and further research are required, including Dingsøyr et al 2018 (132 citations).
