“…This reorientation is a logical outgrowth of various research streams on structural flexibility, 66 digital innovation, 67 flexible technologies, 68 and organization design 69 among others. 70 Therefore, we propose that work systems designed as flexible collaborative environments will be more likely to approach unity between work, worker, team, and organization.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic made visceral for many the fact that virtual forms of collaboration— simultaneously liberating and frustrating—are here to stay. Workers’ frustrations demonstrate that challenges remain for work and its design in increasingly “hybrid” collaboration— work in which some people, interacting face-to-face, are co-located while others with whom they work are remote. Using Buchanan's four orders of design, in conjunction with management and information systems scholarship, we present a framework for improving these virtual forms of collaboration. In this article, we review the latest knowledge from these disciplines on virtual collaboration through the lens of the four orders of design. In doing so, we demonstrate that conceiving of work in terms of flexible collaborative environments could increase the unity of purpose between work and workers by leveraging the capabilities of varying degrees of virtuality to engender experiences that benefit all those who interact with work systems.

“…The A rgo/UM L CASE tool [Robbins and Redmiles, 1999] which has been developed in a research environm ent and is available under an open source license, would make a good basis for the inves tigation of CASE tool support for the SIR model. A rgo/UM L provides support for software design using the UML and autom atic code generation; the tool could be used as a vehicle to investigate support for the SIR model a t the CASE tool and code generation levels.…”

The demand for computer software applications steadily increases as numbers of users, problem domains, and application areas grow the need for good tools to support the myriad of activities that occur during software development is thus greater than ever. This article provides an overview of current practice in software tool features and usage. It also surveys research work in the area of software tools, indicating recent and likely near‐future trends in tools development. A section outlines recent directions in software process evolution, product domains and people management. As different software tools are used throughout the software process for different activities, changes in processes, products and project organization have introduced a variety of new demands on tools and tool developers. A categorization of software tools aligned with software process activities is then presented, including examples of tools in the various categories, along with a brief explanation of common terms used to describe software tools. We describe key elements of the structure of software tools, ranging from repository and data management to multiple‐view presentation and editing. We then focus on the key issue of tool integration, outlining current approaches to integration, current research trends, and likely near‐future integration support in software tools. We describe various strategies for supporting collaborative work with different software tools, facilitating improved teamwork with tools. We review and discuss current research, practice, and likely trends in automated support in software tools, alleviating developers of tedious tasks and helping manage ever‐growing software complexity. We conclude with a summary of some important factors in successful tool development and deployment.
