Abstract

The IT industry is getting more and more agile. Therefore, it is important to know about the required skills for agile workers in this industry. In this study, we analyzed 1000 job advertisements from online job portals to determine the differences in skill requirements for agile workers in the IT industry in Germany versus the U.S. We found that searches for non-technical skills are greater in the U.S. than in Germany. Test and Requirements Management are the most important management concept searches in both countries. JavaScript is searched more often in the U.S. This study contributes to a better understanding of the required skills of agile workers in Germany and the U.S.
