This chapter addresses software professionals’ agency and learning in work
characterized by a need for innovative learning and fluency in renewing work
practices. The study presented was conducted with software professionals in a
medium-sized Finnish company producing digital business applications. We applied a
mixed-method approach to data collection and analysis. Regarding professional
agency, we found a range of opportunities to influence work-related matters. The
professionals were primarily able to influence their working hours and the order of
their work tasks, but had fewer opportunities to influence customer projects, or their
salary. To some extent they were able to develop themselves as individuals and to
share practices and knowledge within professional groups and projects. However, they
expressed concerns about the organizational aim of short-term efficiency, which they
viewed as constraining long-term individual and organizational development. Based
on the findings, we discuss how professional agency and learning at work are
intertwined, and how they can be cultivated among professionals who create tools for
digitalization.
