Abstract

In information systems engineering, one of the most important success factors is understanding the latest scientific research on the use of IT solutions in the enterprise's field of activity. For this purpose, systemic literature reviews are often used to identify the most important concepts and their relationships in a respective domain. This paper illustrates how a knowledge graph can help to visualize and analyze the results of a systemic literature review. A simplified weighted knowledge graph, in which weights are assigned to its nodes, is constructed using the results of a systematic literature review on the application of the agile approach to the development of information systems in the public sector. The graph reflects and, also, helps to analyze the collected information on the state of the art of agile information systems engineering in public organizations.
