“…Lastly, there is little research that has looked at such risks in environments that are more exposed to uncertainties. Research-based on requirement risks in normal circumstances includes requirement change risks (Chen and Deng, 2022), software requirement risks (da Luz Siqueira et al, 2017), requirement risks in information systems (Ramesh et al, 2010), requirement and user risks (Keil et al, 2013), requirement risks in global software development (Ramesh et al, 2010), requirement risk management (Ikram et al, 2010) and user requirement risks (Drljevic et al, 2020). Similarly, literature does not explain much the process of customer knowledge integration in environments with uncertainties such as pandemics.…”

PurposeTaking a co-creation perspective and integrating knowledge-based and resource-based perspectives, the authors examine the role of customer participation in organizational performance and project success. The authors also investigate the mediating role of knowledge integration and the moderating role of requirement risk for these relationships in uncertain contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe authors undertook two studies. The first study was carried out in 2018 in which the authors drew on survey data from 150 information technology (IT) sector employees and examined the mediating role of knowledge integration in the relationship of customer participation with organizational performance and project success. In the second study undertaken in 2020, the authors drew on data from 92 IT and telecom sector employees and examined the moderating role of requirement risk in the relationship between customer participation and knowledge integration. Study 2 was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic when employees were largely working from home and were more sensitive to risks and uncertainty about the scope and system requirements. Both studies were survey-based, and analysis was carried out using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe authors’ two-study examination indicated that knowledge integration positively mediates the relationship of customer participation with organizational performance and project success during the co-creation process. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate that when requirement risks are high, customer participation relationship with knowledge integration is weaker.Originality/valueThe authors show that integrating customer knowledge is critical to project success and organizational performance. By identifying risk uncertainties and environmental contingencies, the authors highlight the constraints of customer participation for knowledge integration, organizational performance and project success. The authors provide some key study findings based on survey data obtained from project teams during two periods (normal and pandemic).

Argumentation schemes [35,80,91] are a relatively recent notion that continues an extremely ancient debate on one of the foundations of human reasoning, human comprehension, and obviously human argumentation, i.e., the topics. To understand the revolutionary nature of Walton's work on this subject matter, it is necessary to place it in the debate that it continues and contributes to, namely a view of logic that is much broader than the formalistic perspective that has been adopted from the 20th century until nowadays. With his book Argumentation schemes for presumptive reasoning, Walton attempted to start a dialogue between three different fields or views on human reasoning -one (argumentation theory) very recent, one (dialectics) very ancient and with a very long tradition, and one (formal logic) relatively recent, but dominating in philosophy. Argumentation schemes were proposed as dialectical instruments, in the sense that they represented arguments not only as formal relations, but also as pragmatic inferences, as they at the same time depend on what the interlocutors share and accept in a given dialogical circumstance, and affect their dialogical relation.In this introduction, the notion of argumentation scheme will be analyzed in detail, showing its different dimensions and its defining features which make them an extremely useful instrument in Artificial Intelligence. This theoretical background will be followed by a literature review on the uses of the schemes in computing, aimed at identifying the most important areas and trends, the most promising proposals, and the directions of future research.

Risk management contributes to software projects success, but agile software development methods do not offer specific activities to manage risks. Therefore, this study aims to propose a list of risk management practices for agile projects, aiming to increase their chances of success. We analyzed 129 works on agile methods that afforded 127 risk management practices. We categorized and ranked practices using the AHP multi-criteria method with the participation of experts in the subject. The study presents risk management practices for daily meetings, increment, prototype, product backlog and Sprint planning as the most important for the risk management effectiveness. This study identified specific risk management practices for agile methods, not converging with other studies. Results contribute to the risk management improvement in agile projects and, consequently, increase their chances of success.
