 	abstract = "Despite the claimed benefits of an agile transformation, user involvement and added
 value are still reported as challenges in software development. The combined use of User-
 Centered Design and Lean Startup with Agile is argued as an alternative to minimize these
 challenges. Given this scenario, this Master Thesis aims to characterize the combined use
 of these methodologies and also to understand how the transformation of a combined approach
 into a multinational company takes place. We also point out the benefits and challenges
 to undergo through such transformation. This qualitative research was composed
 of two studies: a Systematic Mapping Review and a Case Study with two teams from the
 financial area of the multinational company. The first one has the purpose of identifying studies
 that report the use of the combined approach. The second study aims to characterize
 the use of the combined approach in a multinational company. The results of the systematic
 mapping revealed that only a few studies report on the use of the combined approach. Moreover,
 none of these studies report on the transformation strategy in a multinational context.
 Aware of this gap in literature, the conducted case study details how the combined approach
 transformation process took place in a multinational company. We identified the company’s
 strategy to conduct the transformation, for instance, to establish a dedicated team to lead
 the process; and also a set of initiatives defined to help the teams in transformation to go
 through the adoption of new practices and of a new mindset. Additionally, the study provides
 the combined approach characterization including the elements (e.g., roles, activities,
 techniques, ceremonies) which comprises the teams’ daily work in the use of the approach.
 The study also provides a list of benefits and challenges of such adoption. The more significant
 contribution of this research is the combined approach characterization through the
 transformation process. This research provides new insights for the area, filling in the lack
 of knowledge on these specific topics, as mapped in the literature review.",
