Per Lenberg and Lucas Gren: “Using team development methods to increase organizational productivity – Lessons learned from Saab and Volvo”

A common denominator of most, if not all, software engineering companies is that they are working team-based, meaning that the team has replaced the individual as the most critical organizational entity. Organizations are ill-equipped to manage this transition and are struggling to find effective ways to develop their teams. We have expertise in team development, and we can offer a solution to an existing and well-known problem. This presentation will give our experiences of using the…

Julian Frattini: “Towards a good-enough Requirements Engineering”

Insufficient Requirements Engineering (RE) is said to negatively impact subsequent development activities. This is often corroborated by observations in practice where companies only invest little to no effort in, or effort in the wrong aspects of RE, yielding quality deficiencies in the process and the final product. At the same time, RE is a means to an end rather than being a means in itself. Effort spent on RE needs to be well justified which calls for a method for estimating compromises…

Binish Tanveer: “Scaling Agile through Micro Refactoring of Organization and Architecture”

Large organizations that develop software-intensive products and services are adopting agile methods for frequent delivery of working software. Such organizations usually have huge projects being executed by large and distributed development settings which require agile methods to be scaled. While scaling, the size and complexity of the organization and the software systems being developed grow, which results in the increased complexity of socio-technical interdependencies. This gives rise to…

Eriks Klotins: “Continuous Engineering – Costs and Benefits”

Organizations aim to gain a competitive advantage by delivering new products and features faster. Such an aim can be achieved by implementing continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. To maximize the benefits from CI/CD, the whole organization must become “continuous.” In this talk, we will present our conceptual model of continuous activities in an organization, and our preliminary work towards understanding the value created and costs incurred throughout the pipeline.

Emil Alegroth and Michel Nass: “SCOUT – A tool for Augmented Testing”

In this talk, we will present Scout, a tool where a novel approach to GUI testing is demonstrated, which allows the user to record scriptless test scenarios to a model-based data-structure from which test cases can be replayed either manually or automatically through the tested application’s GUI. The approach takes inspiration from augmented reality and basically renders a head-up display on top of the SUT GUI to provide the tester with testing information. However, in addition to showing…

Darja Šmite: “Running Successful Communities of Practice”

Who is taking important decisions in your projects? Traditionally, all important strategy, structure, and work-design decisions, as well as most of the ongoing decisions about work procedures have been taken by organizational management. Yet, as Tayloristic habits are disappearing, organizations willingly (or unwillingly) change their decision-making approaches to enable more participation and influence from the performers, which gave rise to participation-based parallel organizational…
