Business agility in an era of hybrid working

As businesses seek to return to working in the office following peak-Covid times, hybrid working is often cited as the 'new normal' for knowledge workers or service sector jobs. Beyond the hype and the buzzword, key questions remain however about the changes to business practices that will be necessary. This is particularly true for the ICT sector where agile business practices are in use. The aim of this research would be to investigate

How agile practices have changed as hybrid working has become more routine?
What are the perceptions about effectiveness of agile practices vis-a-vis hybrid working?
Do these perceptions differ from a software engineering and management perspectives?
What are the innovations and adaptations that have emerged in business agility practices and frameworks vis-a-vis hybrid working?
