Agile Business Consortium research grant - 2022-2025

The Agile Research Network was formed in 2013 as a collaboration between experienced academics at the Open University and the University of Central Lancashire who all had a long-standing interest in understanding more about agile approaches in the IT workplace. Another common interest was our focus on understanding practice and the value of sharing research findings with practitioners. Our strap line, Bridging the gap between research and practice, neatly sums up our aims. From the beginning we have worked closely with, and been funded by, the DSDM/ABC Consortium. This collaboration has brought an objective, research-led perspective on Agile practices to ABC, its members, and the wider business agility community of practitioners. We conduct multiple research studies, publish widely, and gain international recognition for our work. Our purpose is to: • Respond to the need for case studies and research by agile practitioners • Be a critical friend to the organisations we work with • Bring a different perspective • Bring rigour through academic research • Publish research • Bring the practice perspective into research conversations • Communicate about agile research with different audiences
