Summary: Innovation is a core part of software development companies, frequently determined by organizational design variables including structure, capacity for learning, for change and adaptation. Agile software methods have evolved as approaches to promote agility and innovativeness in software development organizations. However, little research has examined organizational innovativeness and its relationship with organizational design and adoption of agile methods. In this work, we propose a conceptual framework to characterize innovation?s prone and averse patterns on organizational design in agile companies by measuring diffusion and integration of technologies and practices within individual, team, organizational, and environmental levels.
