Abstract

This paper describes the innovation processes used in a partnership between a company that provides asset integrity and maintenance management consulting services in the energy sector and a university. The challenge faced by the company is to make their in-house expertise more readily available to a worldwide audience. A longitudinal embedded case study has been used to investigate how installable desktop software applications have been redesigned to create a new set of cloud hosted software services. The innovation team adapted an agile scrum process to include exploratory prototyping and manage the geographical distribution of the team members. A minimum viable product was developed that integrated functional elements of previous software tools into an end-to-end data collection, analysis and visualisation product called AimHi which uses a cloud-hosted web services approach. The paper illustrates how the scrum software development method was tailored for a product innovation context. Extended periods of evaluation and reflection (field trials), prototyping and requirement refinement were combined with periods of incremental feature development using sprints. The AimHi product emerged from a technology transfer and innovation project that has successfully reconciled conflicting demands from customers, universities, partner companies and project staff members.
scrum下的产品创新:纵向案例研究
本文描述了一家在能源领域提供资产完整性和维护管理咨询服务的公司与一所大学之间合作的创新过程。该公司面临的挑战是让他们的内部专业知识更容易为全球受众所用。一个纵向嵌入式案例研究用于调查如何重新设计可安装的桌面软件应用程序,以创建一组新的云托管软件服务。创新团队采用了敏捷scrum流程,包括探索性原型和管理团队成员的地理分布。开发了一种最小可行产品,将以前软件工具的功能元素集成到端到端数据收集、分析和可视化产品中,称为AimHi,使用云托管的网络服务方法。本文阐述了scrum软件开发方法是如何为产品创新环境量身定制的。评估和反思(现场试验)、原型设计和需求细化的延长周期与使用sprint的增量特性开发周期相结合。AimHi产品源于一个技术转移和创新项目,该项目成功地调和了来自客户、大学、合作伙伴公司和项目工作人员的相互冲突的需求。
