    Leadership gap in agile teams: how developers and scrum masters mature
    (2021) Spiegler, Simone V.; Wagner, Stefan (Prof. Dr.)
    An increasing number of companies aim to enable their developers to work in an agile manner. One key success factor that supports teams in working in an agile way is fitting leadership. Therefore, companies aim to understand leadership in such self-organising teams. One agile leadership concept describes a Scrum Master who is supposed to empower the team to work in an agile manner. However, the findings on leadership that unfolds in a self-organising team are controversial. By using Grounded Theory this thesis provides theories on how leadership evolves in agile teams while taking maturity and organisational culture and structure into account. The thesis does not only provide more theoretical underpinning to human aspects of the agile manner but also builds groundwork for future quantitative testing of leadership in agile teams.
