摘要：
Organizational ambidexterity is the ability to be aligned and efficient in combining current resources and demands (exploitation) as well as adaptive and innovative due to changing conditions and demands (exploration). Maturity in software development is defined over exploitation - through processes definition and control. We argue in this study that mature agile software development is also exploratory - adaptive and innovative. Thus, our objective is to verify how ambidexterity occurs in mature agile software development. The research approach is a single case study with analysis of qualitative data. Our findings show how a mature team is managed by ambidextrous strategies.
