Abstract

Agile practices and Software Project Portfolio Management (SPPM) have both been individually investigated, but the relationship between them remains poorly understood. The different emphases of SPPM and agile can lead to tensions between the portfolio and the project. This research-in-progress identifies those tensions and sets out a plan to examine the financial and project portfolio literature for potential solutions that can be adapted to Information Systems Development to mediate between SPPM and agile.
