Projektledning
- 2013
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Projektledning är ett yrke med egen certifiering. Det pågår en spännande utveckling inom området och det blir allt viktigare att hålla sig ajour med utvecklingen.Det övergripande målet med den här handboken är att vara en ständigt aktuell heltäckande bok om projektarbete. Innehållsmässigt täcker den både frågor som har med struktur och styrning att göra och frågor om ledning av människor och mänskliga processer i grupp. Kompetens inom projekt byggs av både kunskap och erfarenhet. Vi följer kontinuerligt aktuell forskning inom dessa områden och bjuder in intressanta forskare att medverka som författare. Vi skildrar verkliga projekt och låter erfarenheterna få plats, både de bästa erfarenheterna och de utmaningar som man tagit sig igenom.Handboken är levande och det innebär att artiklar tas bort för att ge plats för nya, i takt med att den uppdateras fortlöpande.

DUAL PERSPECTIVES ON MULTI-CONTEXTUALITY OF DATA IN DIGITAL PLATFORM ESTABLISHMENT
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Proc of 21st CINet Conference. - 9789077360231

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Innovation in ecosystems becomes increasingly attractive for incumbents as the technical complexity increases and complementarities play an increasingly important role for global competition. Digital platforms are becoming one of the primary means to that end, where incumbents can gain scale effects and reap the benefits of the creative crowd while maintaining ownership of the core product. But a lion’s share of these platforms hinges on the accessibility of data, and the view of the value and ownership of this data differs among actors in the system. This paper accounts for a case study of two type actors in an innovation ecosystem; the keystone firm and the third-party service provider. From interviews with representatives of these actors, we formulate a tentative description of their perspective on the sharing of data in the ecosystem. We find that these perspectives differ in terms of data contextuality and customer value. We argue that these differing perspectives are at the crux of establishing innovation capabilities in ecosystems based on digital platforms.

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water - Agile transformation from the trenches
- 2019

Ingår i: Agile Processes in Software Engineering and Extreme Programming – Workshops.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Large scale agile transformations are based on the premise that agile on an organizational level (i.e. “large-scale agile”) is rooted in the same underlying assumptions as agile on a team-level. This premise however, proves to be problematic according to Rolland, Dingsoyr et al. (2016) who calls for a re-conceptualization of agile at scale. We join this standpoint and aim to contribute to this re-conceptualization by addressing agility beyond transformational enforcement. We study the agile transformation of a large R&D organization of a manufacturer in the automotive industry. We study it from the bottom-up perspective, meaning we follow closely a group of mechanical integration engineers (MIE) and how they are affected by the corporate transformation initiative. This allows us to capture an important aspect of agility – the relation between formality and informality. We find that the group of MIE’s work in line with fundamental agile principles, and have done so since long before the transformation. Interestingly, these ways of working are not formally recognized as agile and are therefore not legitimate in light of the transformation. In light of our empirical findings, we underline the somewhat paradoxical nature of the idea that agile as a self-organizing, post-bureaucratic approach is imposed top-down in a manner insensitive to present ways of working that may be well aligned with the explicit purpose of the very transformation. We suggest using the idea of critical performativity (Spicer, Alvesson et al. 2016) which includes identifying ‘present potentialities’ rather than “faddishly replicating reforms carried out elsewhere” (Spicer, Alvesson et al. 2016 p. 236), as a productive way of conceptualizing ‘agile at scale’ that incorporates the informality of agile practices.

- LAYERED MUTUAL ADJUSTMENT When agile development is introduced in large-scale product development such as that of cars in organizations that previously employed a plan-driven approach there is reason to assume that mutual adjustment has already been employed as a coordination mechanism. Given the scale of such projects, mutual adjustment among work groups through representatives, i.e. layered mutual adjustment, is likely to have occurred in some form. ONGOING RESEARCH AND FINDINGS We currently conduct an ethnographic field study in the product development organization of Volvo Cars that until recently employed a plan-driven approach to product development. We study the Mechanical architecture & integration department (MAI) and their ways of working. At MAI, a hundred mechanical integration engineers (MIE) have the responsibility for continuously ensuring the proper integration of the digital representation of hardware in all the ongoing car projects each of which involves several hundred developers. Starting from project plans and product architecture, they ensure that the product stays consistent across sub-systems and that any technical issues where different sub-systems conflict, are handled and integration of the product ensured. The work carried out at MAI embraces conflict as a part of work, it employs collaborative methods to seek solutions, encourages exploration and creativity and allows design and implementation to be inseparable in the work process. In other words, much of what characterizes a fertile ground for agile work practices. In a given car project, an MIE monitors the integration of parts within a specific ‘chunk’ of the car and identifies present and potential integration issues among sub-systems involved in the ‘chunk’ that are under development by different work groups in the project. She prioritizes among the different issues that need to be solved. Her role has no formal authority attributed to it apart from that yielded by her exclusive overall perspective on the product, one which people working on the different sub-system cannot afford to maintain themselves. She also identifies the people in the organization that need to participate in solving the integration, i.e. representatives of the concerned work groups. She also acts as a facilitator when the work group is gathered, therein playing a mediating role in this form of layered mutual adjustment. CONCLUSION There is potential for advancing the research on inter-team coordination in large-scale agile software development by learning from large-scale product development beyond software. This could generate new ideas and approaches to handle the inter-team coordination challenges entailed by scaling agile development. One such approach that can be drawn from the example provided here is the use of a mediating role in the use of layered mutual adjustment. Moreover, our findings also suggest that the informal practices ongoing in formally plan-driven hardware development may constitute an untapped resource in agile transformation efforts.

Self-organization of the product and organization relationship – A processual perspective on the mirroring hypothesis
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper builds on several studies of the mirroring hypothesis and specifically develops the idea of an emergent mirroring hypothesis, being the processual mirroring leading towards a one-to-one relationship between the product system and the organization. By assuming that operative product development organizations have an inherent self-organizing capability, we develop a hypothesis of an emergent mirroring process. A process where uncertainty arising from misalignment between the product system and the organization sparks the self-organizing creation of both organizational order and product definition leading to new alignment between the two. Through a participative case study, we provide an illustrative example of how this process is enacted to solve a hardware integration issue spanning across intra-organizational borders and suggest conditions that need to be provided for developers to self-organize the development of product and organizational order.

Classification of Methods for the Indication of Change Propagation - a Literature Review
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of International Design Conference - Design 2014.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In today’s globalized and competitive world, product development processes need to be innovative, effective and efficient. Engineering changes (EC) are an unavoidable part of product development and are both source of innovation and costs. Every innovation derives from a change, but at the same time unnecessary and late changes can be the reason for sky-rocketing costs [Fricke 2000]. Therefore, companies have to find a balance between having too many changes which are costly and time-consuming, and having too few which might lead to missed opportunities with regards to improving quality and being innovative. One particular aspect of changes in engineering design is their risk of propagating further through the product. Engineering change propagation (ECP) can occur wherever there are dependencies within the product and thus a change to one part of the system will trigger subsequent changes in other parts [Yang 2011]. To tackle the problem of unwanted ECP, various methods that aim at supporting designers with the assessment of alternative change options have been developed in recent years. These methods, however, often apply to different scopes and intend at answering different questions. There are academic papers that include a listing and discussion of the various methods that are out in literature such as the one from Jaratt et al. (2011). Moreover, authors that introduce their own method in their paper often refer to other already existing methods. However, most of these papers not exclusively consider the methods that are able to deal with ECP but rather consider the broader field of EC. Also, there is no classified overview in literature that provides deeper insights into what aspects of the various methods differ or are similar. Having such a classified overview at hand with methods that can handle ECP a quicker comparison and assessment of those methods can take place and can therefore save precious time. Hence, this work’s objective is to find methods that can indicate change propagation and to analyse how these differ to each. Therefore, the research questions to be answered are; (RQ 1) what methods in literature to EC propagation do already exist and (RQ 2) based on the findings from RQ 1, how do the so found methods differ to each other?Based on the definitions from Jarratt et al. [Jarratt 2011] and Conrat [Conrat 1998], ECs are in this work defined as modifications in forms, fits, materials, dimensions, functions, drawings or software of a product or component that has already been released during the production design process. ECs include the connected process changes and can be of any size or type, can involve any people, and can take any length of time. EC propagation, based on Tang et al.’s [Tang 2008] and Koh et al.’s [Koh 2012] definition, originates from the relationships or dependencies between items, such as between components, parameters, functions, etc., and describes the process by which a change to one part or element of an existing system configuration or design results in one or more additional changes to the system, when those changes would not have otherwise been required.
