Abstract
This paper suggests ways to facilitate creativity and innovation in agile development. The paper applies four perspectives – Product, Project, Process, andPeople - to identify ways to support creative software development based on agile principles. The paper then describes a new facility - Software Innovation Research Lab (SIRL) - and drafts a new method concept for software innovation called Essence. Finally the paper reports from an early discovery experiment using SIRL and Essence and identifies further research.
