Development of an Agile Requirements Risk Prioritization Method : A Design Science Research Study
2023
The practice of information systems development (ISD) has changed during the past two decades from very structured approaches to agile ISD methods. However, many methods available for managing requirements-related risks in the literature follow the structured way of doing ISD. If any, few methods offer solutions to prioritize requirements risks for agile ISD projects based on recognizing requirements-related risks and patterns to mitigate these. To fill this gap in the literature, we apply the design science research methodology to develop an agile requirements risk prioritization method together with industry experts (n=54) in Finland and New Zealand in a multi-year study. The method was d…
Ohjelmistokehityksen ketteryys ja sen mittaaminen
2015
Tutkielmassa pyritään luomaan yleiskuva ketteryydestä ohjelmistokehitykses-sä - sen määritelmästä, laajuudesta ja toteutumisesta. Tutkielmassa käydään läpi ketteryyteen liittyvää tutkimusta pyrkien löytämään yleisesti käytettyjä ketteryyden määritelmiä sekä käsityksiä ketteryyden ilmentymisestä. Tutkielman jälkipuoliskolla ketteryydelle luodaan mittari, joka perustuu yhteen ketteryyden määritelmään, Agile Manifestoon (Julistus ketterästä oh-jelmistokehityksestä). Mittari luodaan survey-tutkimusta varten ja sen tarkoi-tuksena on pyrkiä mittaamaan eri organisaatioiden eroja niiden toiminnan ket-teryydessä. Mittaria on kokeiltu suomalaisille ohjelmistoalan yrityksille teh-dyssä tutkimuksessa j…
Ketterät sopimustyypit ja hinnoittelumallit julkisissa tietojärjestelmähankinnoissa
2017
Agile contracts and pricing models in public procurements of information systems. Process of public information system procurement has been overlooked in information system science. Especially empirical study of contract types and pricing models that support agile development has been neglected. The aim of this research is to fill this research gap. The research question is how agile contracts and pricing models can be applied in public procurements of information systems. This research investigates what ways and practices for implementing agile contracts and pricing models exist in public sector. The approach of this research is qualitative. The research question will be answered by analyz…
Managing and prioritizing requirements risks in information systems development
2018
Tietojärjestelmien suunnittelussa ja toteutuksessa järjestelmän tavoite ja ominaisuudet kuvataan tietojärjestelmän vaatimuksina. Tietojärjestelmävaatimusten keräämisen, kehittämisen ja hallinnan prosessit tietojärjestelmien kehityksessä tähtäävät siihen, että järjestelmän vaatimukset saadaan koottua sidosryhmiltä, ne analysoidaan huolellisesti ja ilmaistaan vaatimukset järjestelmän kehittäjille asianmukaisessa muodossa. Tämä menettely mahdollistaa käyttötarkoitusta vastaava järjestelmän toteuttamisen. Tämän päivän tietojärjestelmäkehityksessä erilaisten ketterien kehitysmallien merkitys on kasvanut, ja voidaankin perustellusti väittää, että erilaiset ketterien menetelmien sovellutukset ovat…
Agile Deep Learning UAVs Operating in Smart Spaces : Collective Intelligence Versus “Mission-Impossible”
2018
The environments, in which we all live, are known to be complex and unpredictable. The complete discovery of these environments aiming to take full control over them is a “mission-impossible”, however, still in our common agenda. People intend to make their living spaces smarter utilizing innovations from the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as very dynamic, autonomous and intelligent things capable to discover and control large areas are becoming important “inhabitants” within existing and future smart cities. Our concern in this paper is to challenge the potential of UAVs in situations, which are evolving fast in a way unseen before, e.g., em…
Il potere di controllo sul lavoratore e la tutela della riservatezza
2018
L'A. esamina i profili innovativi della recente disciplina sul lavoro agile con riferimento ai margini dell'esercizio del potere di controllo del datore di lavoro. Il saggio inoltre si occupa di analizzare i risvolti critici che un esercizio indiscriminato di tale potere potrebbe produrre sui diritti della persona del lavoratore e in modo particolare con riferimento agli aspetti di violazione della disciplina dei dati personali.
PRACTICAL APPROACH FOR HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE PROCESSING IN PYTHON
2018
Abstract. Python is a very popular programming language among data scientists around the world. Python can also be used in hyperspectral data analysis. There are some toolboxes designed for spectral imaging, such as Spectral Python and HyperSpy, but there is a need for analysis pipeline, which is easy to use and agile for different solutions. We propose a Python pipeline which is built on packages xarray, Holoviews and scikit-learn. We have developed some of own tools, MaskAccessor, VisualisorAccessor and a spectral index library. They also fulfill our goal of easy and agile data processing. In this paper we will present our processing pipeline and demonstrate it in practice.
Leadership as an enabler of professional agency and creativity : case studies from the Finnish information technology sector
2018
This paper summarizes and elaborates the findings of a research project on leadership as an enabler of professional agency and creativity in information technology organizations. The synthesis in this paper is based on a summary of three primary studies. Each of the studies approached leadership, creativity and/or professional agency with a specific focus. Leaning on a mixed‐methods and ethnographic approach, including various empirical data collection and analytical tools, the project investigated the relationship between professional agency and creativity; issues that frame professional agency and creativity; and the meaning of leadership practices for the enhancement of agency and creati…
ICO Crowdfunding: Incentives, Pricing Strategy, Token Strategy and Crowd Involvement
2020
AbstractBlockchain technologies provide means to develop services that are secure, transparent and efficient by nature. Unsurprisingly, the emerging business opportunities has gained a lot of interest that is realized in form of successful Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) that are able to raise billions of USD through crowdfunding campaign. In this exploratory research we study 91 ICOs through content analysis in order to investigate the special characteristics of ICO crowdfunding as business models towards the possible investors. We found that ICOs can be described through (1) the model for providing incentives for investment, (2) the pricing strategy, (3) the token strategy and (4) the activ…
What Key Aspects Do ICOs Reveal About Their Businesses?
2020
AbstractBlockchain technologies disrupt industries by enabling decentralized and transactional data sharing across a network of untrusted participants, among others. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are a novel form of crowdfunding through which hundreds of blockchain-enabled businesses manage to raise billions of dollars in total only in United States. However, there is a lack of understanding of the ICO phenomenon especially related to the business aspects. In this paper, we describe the results of an exploratory study of 91 ICOs and identify the key business model elements that ICOs reveal in their websites and whitepapers. Furthermore, we also note the immaturity and lack of transparency o…
