Fostering New Work Practices Bottom-up Through a Community of Practice - A Case Study in a Large-Scale Agile Software Development Organization
New Work and agile methodologies share a common foundation in their aim to foster autonomy, collaboration, and adaptability. Their benefits make both concepts highly relevant for organizations, as they support agility, innovation, and attractiveness to existing and potential employees. Still, implementing these concepts within large, established companies remains challenging. Therefore, this case study investigates a Community of Practice that promotes New Work principles within a large software organization aiming to be agile and innovative. Our study explores the establishment and functioning of this community and its effectiveness in advancing New Work practices within the case company. The community has been growing and has achieved its first success in promoting New Work, but there remains potential for improvement. In particular, a clearer mandate from the upper management is needed.
