    Agile software engineering techniques: the missing link in large scale lean product development
    (Software Engineering 2013, 2013) Scheerer, Alexander; Schmidt, Christoph T.; Heinzl, Armin; Hildenbrand, Tobias; Voelz, Dirk
    Many software development companies have fundamentally changed the way they organize and run their development organizations in the course of the last decade. Lean and agile software development became more and more common. Lean focuses on continuous value generation based on a framework of principles known from manufacturing. But how do software developers actually implement these principles in their daily work? Based on insights from several software development teams at a large-scale enterprise software company in Germany, we show that agile software engineering techniques seamlessly integrate into lean product development principles. This paper shows empirical insights on how to implement these principles in a professional context and every-day work.

    Alignment of software specifications with quality- and business goals in the SIKOSA method
    (PRIMIUM - Process Innovation for Enterprise Software, 2009) Herrmann, Andrea; Weiß, Daniel
    Business-IT alignment for software specifications means that the specifications have to be aligned with business goals. In the SIKOSA research project, we developed the SIKOSA method which supports the integrated assurance of quality during the whole software development process. In this work, we present these aspects of the SIKOSA method, which especially align specification decisions to quality goals and thus indirectly to business goals. Such goals play a role in the following activities: the derivation of software requirements from quality goals, the prioritization of these software requirements, and the definition of decision criteria for architectural design decisions. The results of all three activities influence architectural decisions.

    Architectural principles and components of adaptive process management technology
    (PRIMIUM - Process Innovation for Enterprise Software, 2009) Reichert, Manfred; Dadam, Peter; Rinderle-Ma, Stefanie; Jurisch, Martin; Kreher, Ulrich; Göser, Kevin
    Process-aware information systems (PAIS) must not freeze business processes, but should enable authorized users to deviate from the implemented workflows on-the-fly and to dynamically evolve them over time. While there has been a lot of work on the theoretical foundations of dynamic process changes, there is still a lack of implemented PAIS providing this dynamics. Designing the architecture of such adaptive PAIS, however, constitutes a big challenge due to the high complexity coming with dynamic changes. Besides this, performance, robustness, security and usability of the PAIS must not be affected by the added flexibility. In the AristaFlow project we follow a holistic approach to master this complexity. Based on a conceptual framework for adaptive process management, we have designed a sophisticated architecture for next generation process management technology. This paper discusses major design goals and basic architectural principles, gives insights into selected system components, and shows how change support features can be realized in an integrated and efficient manner.

    Bringing developers and users closer together: the open proposal story
    (PRIMIUM - Process Innovation for Enterprise Software, 2009) Rashid, Asarnusch; Wiesenberger, Jan; Meder, David; Baumann, Jan
    Even though end-user participation in requirements engineering (RE) is highly important, it is at present not frequently used. Reasons can be found in the large expenditure of time for organizing and carrying out surveys as well as in the time it takes to understand the users' requirements. This research is supposed to address this problem by presenting the OpenProposal approach for distributed user participation using visual requirement specifications. First experiences made in several case studies show the potential and limits of this approach and outline the possibilities of application.

    Datenplattformökosysteme
    (HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 58, No. 3, 2021) Kramberg, Philipp; Heinzl, Armin
    Plattformökosysteme haben sich zu einem erfolgreichen Konzept entwickelt und weisen vielfältige Wettbewerbsvorteile gegenüber Pipeline-Geschäftsmodellen auf. Eine Plattform umfasst einen Plattformkern (z. B. ein Betriebssystem für Mobiltelefone, ein Marktplatz oder ein Musik-Streamingdienst), der von einem Plattformbetreiber kontrolliert wird und die Austauschbeziehungen zwischen Kunden und komplementären Anbietern orchestriert (z. B. die Distribution von Waren, Spielen, Apps oder Musikstücken an die Endnutzer). In den letzten Jahren haben die Nutzung und der Handel von Daten immer mehr an Bedeutung gewonnen. Einige Quellen berichten über die Existenz von Datenplattformen als technische Infrastruktur zur Speicherung und Austausch von Daten, obwohl die Literatur wenig Aussagen über die Rolle von Daten in Plattformökosystemen und über die Existenz von Datenplattformökosystemen im Allgemeinen trifft. Durch die Kombination von technischen Datenplattformen und Plattformökosystemen entsteht das Konzept eines Datenplattformökosystems. Es ermöglicht die Bereitstellung der Daten durch Datenanbieter sowie die gezielte Suche nach Daten durch Datennutzer. Um die Eigenschaften von Datenplattformökosystemen zu verstehen, werden wir die Konzepte der Datenmodularität, der Datenqualität, der Verfügungs- und Nutzungsrechte sowie Möglichkeiten zur Überwindung des Informationsparadoxons thematisieren. Basierend auf diesen Charakteristika erläutern wir die Entstehung von Datenplattformökosystemen anhand von zwei Fallbeispielen und zeigen Wege für zukünftige Forschung auf. Platform ecosystems have become a source of sustained competitive advantages over pipeline models. A platform consists of a platform core (such as a smartphone operating system, a marketplace or a music streaming service) which is controlled by the platform owner who orchestrates the relationship between customers and providers (e.g. the distribution of goods, apps or music to end-users). Recently, the utilization and monetization of data has been significantly increasing. While some sources report the existence of data platforms as technical repositories to distribute data, the literature is sparse in discussing the role of data in platform ecosystems or outlining the existence of data platform ecosystems. By combining the technical concept of a data platform with the one of a platform ecosystem, a data platform ecosystem emerges. It comprises a platform ecosystem that facilitates the recombination and exchange of data around a stable core between a wide range of complements of data providers and prospective customers. To understand the characteristics of data platform ecosystems, we will elaborate on the concepts of data modularity, data quality, disposal and usage rights of data as well as ways to address the information paradox inherent to data. Based on these key properties, we illustrate the emergence of data platform ecosystems through two case examples and suggest avenues for future research.

    Der Einfluss kultureller Unterschiede beim IT-Offshoring
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 49, No. 2, 2007) Winkler, Jessica; Dibbern, Jens; Heinzl, Armin
    KernpunkteDieser Beitrag zeigt auf der Basis von sechs Anwendungsentwicklungsprojekten in Indien, welche kulturellen Einflussgrößen bei der Auslagerung von IT-Projekten einzubeziehen sind, wie diese Determinanten den Projekterfolg beeinflussen und durch welche Maßnahmen von Seiten des Managements kulturelle Herausforderungen zur Sicherung des Projekterfolgs gemeistert werden können:Als kritische Kulturfaktoren haben sich Unterschiede in der Machtdistanz, dem Designverständnis und der aktiven versus passiven Arbeitseinstellung herauskristallisiert.Diese Faktoren wirken direkt auf wichtige Stellgrößen der Beziehungsqualität, wie dem Vertrauen, der Leistung des Anbieters, dem Grad der Kooperation und auftretenden Konflikten. Auf diese Weise wirken sie indirekt auf den Erfolg von Offshoring-Projekten.Eine klare Definition von Rollen und Mechanismen, starke Mitarbeiterführung und ein aktives Kulturmanagement, das eine Anpassung an die Kultur des Kunden oder an die des Anbieters beinhaltet, haben sich als effektive Managementmaßnahmen zur Bewältigung kultureller Herausforderungen herausgestellt.AbstractRecently, offshoring of information systems (IS) services to external vendors has seen considerable growth. Outsourcing to vendors in foreign countries causes unique challenges which need to be understood and managed effectively. This paper explores cultural differences in IS offshoring arrangements involving German client organizations that outsource application development activities to Indian vendors. For this purpose, a research framework is developed based on both theoretical considerations and specific empirical observations from multiple case studies. The goal is to (1) explore the nature of cultural differences in offshoring arrangements in depth and to (2) analyze the relationship between those cultural differences and offshoring success.
