Industry-Academy Collaboration In Agile Methodology: A Systematic Literature Review

Collaborative Research between Industry and Academia (IAC) in Software Engineering (SE) is being applied and developed in practice. Collaborative practices help both environments, from academic and software industry perspectives. As a way of observing what is being developed in the SE, the objective of this article is to present an exploratory and empirical study of IAC practices in the scope of Agile Software Development (ASD), exploring and characterizing solutions and practices, the challenges found in the application of the IAC and the collaboration. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was carried out in five main academic databases, evaluating/analyzing 7143 articles, totaling 12 articles approved following the proposed criteria. As a result of the data analysis, 76 good practices and 37 challenges in carrying out the IAC were described. As well, practical models for the application of IAC were detailed.
