What to read after Evaluation of the Framework for Agile Software Development Teams and Measurement of Work Outcomes?

The focus on digitization, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics Process Automation (RPA) in various industrial domains has propelled the growth of IT (Information Technology) industry in the world to an outstanding level. IT and ITeS (IT enabled Services) sector has evolved significantly in the last three decades in India. It is a significant contributing factor to the GDP growth of the country. As per the NASSCOM report, this sector generated revenue of US$147 billion approx. in 2015 (NASSCOM Annual Report, 2015-16). The IT sector also contributed to the generation of employment in the nation to a significant level. As per the details given in the Economic Survey 2014-15, Indian ITeS and IT industry directly employed 3.5 million people in a year and by the year 2020, the employment generation by this sector is expected to reach 20 million (NASSCOM Annual Report, 2015-16). The survey also showcases that the government's "Make in India" mission has included IT among the 25 focus sectors. Thus, the focus and study of software development projects is appropriate in the current scenario. The usage and application of IT is appropriate in all the industrial and non-industrial domains. The usage of IT in all the domains helps to automate the processes, reduce errors and respond in a timely manner to any events that may occur in the system context. For example - in the healthcare domain, uncertainties about safeguarding patient health data are driving the spending on information systems globally. Healthcare technology is changing rapidly and healthcare organizations are shifting to virtual platforms and mobile technologies to support healthcare delivery and operations. Additionally, health records are being digitalized and the IT systems that support the delivery of healthcare services have become more complex over a period of time. The need for automated healthcare systems to respond within a specific period of time to development that supports care delivery while ensuring compliance with regulatory agencies has become critical. Hence, development of software systems using agile methodologies offer solutions to many of these types of industrial challenges in different domains and sub domainS.
