Abstract

Context: Sustainability has become an important topic for researchers and is gaining popularity among software development companies, but integrating it into their development processes is still lacking.

Objectives: This paper aimed to discuss the purpose of doctoral research, the research questions, the steps to answer the research questions, and the research's current progress concerning sustainability in the software development life cycle.

Results: I have presented the high-level plans for the doctoral research and outlined the first part of the results of phase 1. As part of this phase 1, I have conducted an extensive literature review to collect data about sustainability in companies' agile methods. I found only a few studies reporting sustainability in agile software development, and this finding proposes that either this field was not studied, or the results have not been widely published, indicating a gap in research.
