The initial phase of innovative product design is marked by uncertainty and complexity. This paper examines the use of participatory workshops to navigate this phase within the ToCaro research project. The project aims to develop tactile and ...

Systematic reviews are essential in helping researchers address pre-defined research questions through explicit, methodical, and reproducible techniques for identifying studies and comprehensively synthesizing their findings. We highlight our ...

Over time, numerous multimodal eXtended Reality (XR) user studies have been conducted in laboratory environments, with participants fulfilling tasks under the guidance of a researcher. Although generalizable results contributed to increase the maturity ...

This abstract provides an update on development and implementation progress of the Pure community module in the 5 years since the initial launch of the service. The paper revisits the conclusions of our 2018 presentation [1], providing updates on ...

Faced with escalating expenses related to data storage needs and a capable set of on campus storage service providers, the University of Minnesota (UMN) developed a comprehensive framework to better address current and emerging challenges and ...

As primary provider for research computing services at the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute (MSI) has long been responsible for serving the needs of a user-base numbering in the thousands.

In recent years, MSI---like many ...

This paper shows the construction of an organizational memory model focused on R&D centers. The model uses lessons learned extracted from corporative social networks; the model aims to promote learning and management of organizational knowledge at these ...

This is a summary report by the organizers of the 6th TMA PhD school held in Louvain-la-Neuve on 5-6 April 2016. The insight and feedback received about the event might turn useful for the organization of future editions and similar events targeting ...

This article aims to provide a theoretically based and proven educational design for lessons learned. Called a Proactive Review, this educational design is exemplified in a case study of a global information technology company classified as big business,...

One of the major challenges of any organizational lessons learned system is how to ensure that this content is actually implemented: that employees can find and learn from them. While we are guided by a number of theories on how newly acquired knowledge ...

While crises may appear to be event-driven, post-mortem accounts often identify factors that accumulate over time and increase the likelihood of failure. These factors are particularly difficult to anticipate when multiple organizations are involved in ...

An organisation and its work are formed by social structures in the form of relationships. The aim of this paper is to explore the nature of relationships and its impact on learning with a qualitative approach. A case study focusing on the Land Warfare ...

Project-based organizations (PBOs) collect and use lessons learned (LL) in order to prevent reinventing the wheel or repeating mistakes. LL can be defined as documented "knowledge gained from experience, successful or otherwise, for the purpose of ...

Agile development have a distinct culture that at first glance seems to conflict with Interaction Design. Therefore, integrating these two areas becomes a challenging task. There is little guidance about integrating them. Very limited empirical evidence ...

This article builds upon earlier research McDaniel & Fiore, 2010 in which the authors presented case studies focused on the design and development of two original ethical learning video games. Through this case study and a review of relevant literature, ...

Success in project management, and particularly in large, high-technology/IT projects, is not easily achieved. This paper draws together a significant number of case studies and research efforts relating to the success and failure of projects from the ...

Scientists and engineers are increasingly developing software to enable them to do their work. A number of characteristics differentiate the software development environment in which a scientist or engineer works from the development environment in ...

This is an interesting collection of lessons learned the hard way, as told by an architect who joined a "team in transition," replacing the original architect. These lessons are almost "anti-patterns," and the author provides thoughtful solutions. What ...

A case study was conducted which describes the application of systems engineering during the concept validation, system design and development, and production phases of the GPS program. The case examines the applied systems engineering processes, as ...

Dealing with multiple models for process assessment and improvement is a challenging, time-consuming task. In the automotive sector, for example, several suppliers drive their process improvement on the basis of CMMI®. However, many car manufacturers ...
