Abstract

From 2019 to 2022, Volvo Cars successfully translated our research discoveries regarding group dynamics within agile teams into widespread industrial practice. We wish to illuminate the insights gained through the process of garnering support, providing training, executing implementation, and sustaining a tool embraced by approximately 700 teams and 9,000 employees. This tool was designed to empower agile teams and propel their internal development. Our experiences underscore the necessity of comprehensive team training, the cultivation of a cadre of trainers across the organization, and the creation of a novel software solution. In essence, we deduce that an automated concise survey tool, coupled with a repository of actionable strategies, holds remarkable potential in fostering the maturation of agile teams, but we also share many of the challenges we encountered during the implementation.
从群体心理学到软件工程研究再到汽车研发:沃尔沃汽车公司团队发展的衡量标准
从 2019 年到 2022 年,沃尔沃汽车公司成功地将我们对敏捷团队中群体动力的研究发现转化为广泛的行业实践。我们希望阐明在争取支持、提供培训、执行实施和维持一个被约 700 个团队和 9000 名员工所接受的工具的过程中所获得的启示。我们的经验强调了对团队进行全面培训、在整个组织内培养一批培训师以及创建一个新颖的软件解决方案的必要性。从本质上讲,我们得出结论,自动化简明调查工具与可操作策略库相结合,在促进敏捷团队成熟方面具有显著的潜力,但我们也分享了在实施过程中遇到的许多挑战。
