“…They find several factors that are uncovered in our study, such as motivation, pride, and social (team) identity. Cedergren and Larsson [14] investigated how software product managers perceive and evaluate performance in large organisations. Their findings indicate that managers are dissatisfied with their current way of evaluating performance.…”

Context: Companies increasingly strive to adapt to market and ecosystem changes in real time. Gauging and understanding team performance in such changing environments present a major challenge. Objective: This paper aims to understand how software developers experience the continuous adaptation of performance in a modern, highly volatile environment using Lean and Agile software development methodology. This understanding can be used as a basis for guiding formation and maintenance of highperforming teams, to inform performance improvement initiatives, and to improve working conditions for software developers. Method: A qualitative multiple-case study using thematic interviews was conducted with 16 experienced practitioners in five organisations. Results: We generated a grounded theory, Performance Alignment Work, showing how software developers experience performance. We found 33 major categories of performance factors and relationships between the factors. A cross-case comparison revealed similarities and differences between different kinds and different sizes of organisations. Conclusions: Based on our study, software teams are engaged in a constant cycle of interpreting their own performance and negotiating its alignment with

The project of the research is a project-based service that develops customized reporting platform for the X multi finance company. It observed at the project execution stage and focusing on the monitor and control established in the project. The percentage of the problem occur based on the interviewees is 85% experience in over schedule and 15% experience in over budget. In order to increase the efficiency of the monitoring in the company, this paper proposed a monitoring method using Earned Value Management (EVM). This paper measured the project's performance based on the last work performed after all the failure testing and errors are fixed. The research approach consists of the data collected, which are WBS, PV, EV, and AC of the project. The result of the performance measurements indicates the percentage of SV is 21% and SPI value is 0.79 showing the project is behind schedule for four weeks, while a percentage of CV is 9% over budget for the work perform and CPI value is 0.92 showing the project is over budget. The proposed suggestion is using EAC with value Rp157,802,419 to finish the work left and extend the project time for seven weeks based on the EAC calculation.

“…PMs are required to deliver a satisfying product, whereas ULs are mainly responsible in assuring the alignment of the delivered product with business requirements and value (Kirsch et al, 2002). Moreover, the performance measurements for IT projects tend to be result oriented, rather than process oriented based on the investigation on managers (Cedergren & Larsson, 2014). Therefore, product performance is selected as the dependent variable in this study.…”
