PostersXP 2025

Call for submission

About

The Posters Track welcomes submissions from researchers, practitioners, and PhD students. We encourage submissions that cover various forms of research, including but not limited to empirical, theoretical, and tool-oriented investigations. The topics of interest for the posters track align with those of the main conference and encompass all areas related to research and practice in agile software development. The primary objective of the poster session is to foster face-to-face discussions among conference participants, promoting reflection on the past, sharing innovative ideas in the early stages of research, and inspiring visions for the future. We believe that this interactive setting will spark collaboration between practitioners and researchers on their projects. The posters will be displayed all day long during the conference day allowing attendees to visit the posters at their convenience. However, authors will attend their posters only during the assigned Poster Session time frames (which will be published online when the final program is available). At least one author of each accepted poster must register for the conference and present the work during the poster session. Each accepted poster can be accompanied by a paper (up to 4 pages), which will be included in the post-conference proceedings, along with PhD symposium papers and academic workshop papers. These proceedings will be published with Springer in their Lecture Notes on Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series.

Topics of Interest

At XP2025, we are seeking contributions that explore innovative approaches to improving Agile practices and methodologies in real-world software development. We welcome posters that delve into the future of Agile, from scaling and adaptability to addressing complexity and uncertainty in fast-changing markets. Topics of interest include advances in Agile frameworks, new methods to enhance team collaboration and performance, and cutting-edge tools for continuous integration, deployment, and delivery. Research that highlights how Agile can evolve to better meet the demands of large-scale systems, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies like AI and IoT is particularly encouraged. In addition, we are interested in submissions that offer fresh perspectives on fostering Agile culture, leadership, and transformation within organizations. Posters may explore the human aspects of Agile, such as building resilient and adaptable teams, improving communication in distributed environments, or integrating Agile with DevOps and Lean practices. We also encourage contributions focused on measuring the value and effectiveness of Agile methods, identifying potential pitfalls, and sharing lessons learned from industry case studies. Whether your work addresses new challenges or opportunities in Agile, XP2025 is the platform to share your vision for shaping the future of software development.

Submissions

We invite two types of poster submissions:

• A standalone poster without an accompanying extended abstract in the Springer post-proceedings.
• An extended abstract of four pages (including figures, tables and references) in Springer format. If accepted, a poster will be presented during the poster session, while the extended abstract will be published in the Springer post-proceedings.

Regardless of the submission type, posters should convey a reflection on the past, share innovative ideas or tools in the early stages of research, or inspire visions for the future. In order to have a poster presented at the conference, either a poster or an extended abstract must be submitted for review by the specified deadline. All submissions will undergo a single-blind reviewing process, conducted by at least two members of the Program Committee. Authors of extended abstracts should consult Springer’s author guidelines and use their proceedings templates for LaTeX or Word for submission preparation. All necessary resources can be found here.

Participants in the PhD Symposium are invited to present their work at the Poster Session without undergoing the poster review process.

Poster Printing

For all accepted poster abstracts, authors should prepare and bring a printed poster themselves. All submissions should be made through a shared folder (the link will be provided later).

Evaluation

The XP 2025 main conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) as Open Access. Submissions will be screened on rigor and relevance and then evaluated by at least two program committee members based on soundness, significance, novelty, verifiability, and presentation quality.
