A Biomimicry Perspective at Agile Software Exponential Organizations

This paper proposes how agile software exponential organizations, which seek ways to cope with changes, can adopt a biomimicry approach by implementing Plotkin's framework of coping with change in the field of biology. We demonstrate how characteristics of exponential organizations actually implement biological mechanisms that Plotkin described for coping with changes. We focus on agile organizations since one of their basic working assumptions is that changes are inherent to any software development process and therefore, they seek ways to cope with change.
