Abstract
Agile, lean processes have become the de-facto way to
operate in the domain of software intensive products.
Methodologies such as the lean startup are reshaping the
way new companies and even well-established enterprises
seek new opportunities in their operations. In contrast,
in research, little has changed during that time -
organizations that fund research still expect a solid,
linear research plan. In this paper, we present an
attempt to challenge this model in software research,
based on 7 years of experiences in two large, national,
industry-led projects that followed a more agile mindset.
Furthermore, we also provide an insight to key learnings
and best practices of running software research in agile
fashion.
