  I'll dig out the archive when back at the office, next week. There is plenty of research into iterative/agile development, slightly less into quality, and surprisingly little on accountability. The most valuable sources have been just 5 (yes, five) research papers / reports. Luckily they sport citations, but sadly I haven't poured over more than a fraction of them so far.

  In my sibling response I mentioned that just 5 articles have been truly valuable. In no particular order: DOI: 10.1109/MC.2003.1204375 ; "Iterative and Incremental Development: A Brief History" DOI: 10.1109/AGILE.2013.17 ; "Continuous Delivery? Easy! Just Change Everything (Well, Maybe It Is Not That Easy)" DOI (with link): https://doi.org/10.1002/spip.344 https://doi.org/10.1002/spip.344 ; "The agile professional culture: A source of agile quality" [the article itself is pretty light on useful material but it contains some of the strongest individual arguments I've seen, all in one package] Direct PDF link: https://www.futureworksconsulting.com/perch/resources/pdfs/teamagilityagiletimesfeb04.pdf https://www.futureworksconsulting.com/perch/resources/pdfs/t... [the valuable material is on the first page] DOI: 10.1.1.428.5843 ; "Evaluation of Quality AssuranceFactorsinAgile Methodologies" --- There are plenty of other reports and papers on the topics, but they bring very little to the table on their own. These five have provided me with a decent starting point. The references to findings and reports from 1950's are in the first one, btw.
