Since the inception of the Agile Manifesto over ten years ago, agile development techniques have superseded waterfall methods in many, if not most, software development organizations. Despite its apparent success, many companies have struggled with the adoption and implementation of agile, and exactly what level of adoption provides the most agility. Agility is commonly held in the literature to be constructed of elements external to a company or project but may in fact be composed of both external and internal elements. The exact relationship of the adoption of agile development techniques and their relationship to the actual agility of a business remain unclear. A primary contributor to this uncertainty is the somewhat amorphous definition of agile itself. In academic literature, the concept is still relatively young and loosely defined. In practice, organizations have largely opted for a hybrid approach to agile, mixing its concepts and methods with existing Stage Gate or waterfall methodologies. This has made the management of agile even more complex. Crucially, there is no definition or criterion available to determine the appropriate mix of agile and waterfall processes in an embedded software development context nor is there a method to determine the impact of one against the other. This paper examines the results of an interpretive case study as to how stakeholders manage both market and process agility in an embedded systems context via a hybrid agility implementation and product genesis to achieve “true agility”. Thus, we provide the notion of agile vorticity, as the point at which market and process agility collide to produce business momentum at a specific point of innovation within the agile business vortex.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124392707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Innovation program deployment for industries with irreversible processes 针对具有不可逆过程的行业的创新计划部署

Amaba","doi":"10.1109/TEMSCON.2017.7998413","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/TEMSCON.2017.7998413","url":null,"abstract":"Innovation processes and methods have taken center stage in many organizations as companies begin to evaluate new ways to deliver growth and maintain a competitive edge. Specifically, the proliferation of methods originating in software development (agile) and product development (design thinking) put pressure on organizations to dedicate resources to apply these methods, irrespective of industry. The challenge is that innovation program deployment is being mistakenly compared to the relative ubiquitous deployment of Six Sigma programs over the past decade. This is most apparent in industries such as Construction, namely mega-project construction, that face irreversible processes (concrete curing), risk (both life-critical and business), and elongated project cycles. To address this challenge, companies need to recognize limitations to agile methods as well as the impact of project time to the delivery of innovations. For example, a multi-billion-dollar rail project may take several years to deliver, during which technology advancements can change dramatically and project agency issues can impact the implementation of solutions to make the next job. Bechtel recently deployed an innovation program that addresses this alignment issue by providing a “fail-safe, fail-fast, fail-forward” process that is matched to a centralized fund for innovation. This paper presents key considerations for the deployment of a robust and scalable innovation program that maintains the ad-vantages of design thinking and speed of development for industries with similar challenges.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126450148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results intend to support corporations management technological changes based on a systematic review of the scientific literature. The results showed that the main issues to be considered in Information Technology Project Management are still related to Communication and to Human Resources. This work is valuable for most organizations, specially for small and medium Enterprises, because it supports decision making regarding Information Technology project management. For instance, for such Enterprises it may be unnecessary to invest in evaluating the efficiency of project management, because for most cases, as a result of this work, it is clear that investing in communication and human resource is a good strategy.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133193862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many previous studies have examined the issue of harmonization, from industrial, IP policy, and enterprise perspectives, but have not taken inventors' points of view into consideration. Therefore, we have administered a questionnaire survey to inventors to investigate their views on harmonization in terms of promoting invention. The aim of this study is to provide fundamental insights into harmonization from the point of view of inventors. The majority of the survey subjects positively evaluated the areas of “Grace Period,” “Inventive Step,” “Strength of Patent Protection,” “Unitary Patent System,” and “Globally Harmonized Patent System.” For “Duration of Patent Protection,” most responded positively, but some answered that patent protection durations were too long. This can be assumed to be due to the special circumstances of the software industry. The results indicated the acceptance of harmonization by inventors. Moving forward with harmonization as well as patent promotion efforts appears to be warranted, and further discussion is expected on these issues.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130941053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
