| dc.description.abstract | 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:
• Agile education and training track
