Preface
In the last decade, we have seen agile and lean software development strongly influence the way software is developed. Agile and lean has moved from being a way of working for a number of pioneers to becoming, more or less, the expected way of developing software also in industry. The transition to more agile and lean practices is not easy and any expected benefits do not come automatically. Thus, there is a great need for research and practice to work together to understand, evaluate and improve software development. An important starting point is to study agile and lean software development both academically and in close collaboration between academia and practice. This book presents a number of research contributions in relation to these ways of developing software. More specifically, the book includes a number of chapters on different themes related to agile and lean software development. The themes include general aspects of agility, agile teams, studies related to release and maintenance, and research on specific practices in agile and lean. The four themes are complemented with four shorter chapters capturing some additional aspects on agile and lean software development. The target audience of the book is researchers, teachers and practitioners who would like to gain insight into some contemporary research that most likely will affect both future research and practice in relation to agil
