Dynamic collaboration

Abstract

Groups and decision makers are increasingly running headlong into complexity as interconnections and interdependenciesbetween individuals and organizations continue to grow, decision time horizons shrink and more work is being performed by distributed teams. These factors are driving up overall problem space complexity and limiting the effectiveness of time-tested decision and collaboration processes. Increases in problem space complexity lead to higher equivocality in collaborative processes and associated products. Electronic collaboration support tools and associated process management schemes have proven successful in many challenging contexts. However, current collaboration process management schemes and tools may not be able to effectively handle more complex tasks. We posit that heightened problem space complexity must be addressed with commensurate process and technological support for collaborative efforts. To achieve truly agile collaborative solutions, we propose Dynamic Collaboration -a process management scheme that utilizes group consensus, and process evolution via iterative process alignment and product refinement phases to meet the challenges posed by complexity and equivocality.

Enterprise architecture contribution in distributed agile software development

“…Agile enterprise architecture offers the basis for architecture principles, reducing the number of mistakes, improving execution integrity, using the same design and language patterns, scoring from the same quality criteria, and using a consistent scoring mechanism. 22,25,66 However, the findings reveal that the impact of using the agile enterprise architecture view was more recognized and supported on GDAD functionality and quality, which is also aligned with the findings of Alzoubi and Gill. 24 However, the impact of the agile enterprise architecture view on on-budget and on-time completion was not clear, which is partially aligned with the findings of Alzoubi and Gill, 24 where agile enterprise architecture had no substantial influence on on-time completion.…”

“…This is consistent with previous literature. Agile enterprise architecture offers the basis for architecture principles, reducing the number of mistakes, improving execution integrity, using the same design and language patterns, scoring from the same quality criteria, and using a consistent scoring mechanism 22,25,66 . However, the findings reveal that the impact of using the agile enterprise architecture view was more recognized and supported on GDAD functionality and quality, which is also aligned with the findings of Alzoubi and Gill 24 .…”

“…65 The agile enterprise architecture view can be useful in establishing project functionality, for example. 66 Using the agile enterprise architecture view in conjunction with training may help developers enhance their knowledge and productivity. 67 The adoption of an architectural view to address team disagreements over system design helps speed up the development process while also ensuring that functionality and quality objectives are met.…”

“…The agile enterprise architecture perspective may provide a task allocation strategy, enhance GDAD team member interaction, and ensure continued integration across distributed teams 65 . The agile enterprise architecture view can be useful in establishing project functionality, for example 66 . Using the agile enterprise architecture view in conjunction with training may help developers enhance their knowledge and productivity 67 .…”

Psychological assessment of AI-based decision support systems: tool development and expected benefits

“…It includes factors like the duration of communication, number of partners involved, mode of communication (direct or indirect), and content, like information sharing, instruction dissemination, and collaborative problem-solving (Richter et al, 2014 ). These requirements are often accompanied by highly complex tasks, as they often necessitate cooperation and collaboration between different specialists or departments owing to the diverse skills and knowledge required (Helquist et al, 2011 ).…”
