论文摘要
大型公司通常面临在不同组织群体之间管理相关知识的挑战,尤其是在日益敏捷的环境中。在先前的研究中,我们发现分析方法论岛(即使用与周围组织不同的开发方法的群体)以及它们之间的边界对象的重要性。在本文中,我们提出了一个元模型,以更好地捕获和分析实践中的协调和知识管理。这样的元模型可以使从业人员描述当前的实践,分析问题并设计更好的协调机制。我们与四家开发复杂系统的大型公司一起评估了概念模型。特别是,我们得出了一份最初的不良气味清单,这些气味可以被利用以检测问题并制定合适的改进策略,以实现大规模开发中的团队间协调。我们介绍模型,气味和我们的评估结果。
Large-scale companies commonly face the challenge of managing relevant knowledge between different organizational groups, particularly in increasingly agile contexts. In previous studies, we found the importance of analyzing methodological islands (i.e., groups using different development methods than the surrounding organization) and boundary objects between them. In this paper, we propose a metamodel to better capture and analyze coordination and knowledge management in practice. Such a metamodel can allow practitioners to describe current practices, analyze issues, and design better-suited coordination mechanisms. We evaluated the conceptual model together with four large-scale companies developing complex systems. In particular, we derived an initial list of bad smells that can be leveraged to detect issues and devise suitable improvement strategies for inter-team coordination in large-scale development. We present the model, smells, and our evaluation results.
