Abstract
Many large companies are increasingly facing the pressure to meet rapidly changing customer needs and to respond quickly to new technologies. These companies often suffer from coercive bureaucracy, that is, rule rigidity. For this reason, a huge increase in alternative working practices such as agile working has been noticed lately. While it was firstly found in small business start-ups, more and more traditional companies as DAX-companies have tried to use agile working practices selectively in their development departments. However, can agile working be so simply transferred to development of traditional products?
