“…To address these issues, there are various approaches aiming at improving the development process . Despite the wide variety of existing approaches, the adaption to specific contexts, and a lot of research in the area of process tailoring, most development approaches, which are nowadays in use, are seen as too slow to keep pace in future …”

“…Many companies address the complexity by a structured software reuse strategy, which helps them to manage the development and to maintain the quality, even if there are numerous software variants . However, the development processes are seen as too slow to keep pace with the fast changing market . Agile software development methods promise the required flexibility to react to changing requirements from customers and market demands .…”

Almost all companies struggle with software systems that are getting increasingly complex. Therefore, in particular large companies often use software product lines, which provide an efficient way to manage software reuse as well as the high complexity. However, software product lines seem to be too slow to react to changes. Agile development approaches promise to meet this demand. At the same time, integrating an agile approach is not always easy. Consequently, there is a need for a transformation model that supports the agile transformation without harming the benefits of software product lines. In this paper, we present the results of a literature review regarding agile transformation in large software companies. Our results summarize the insights from 85 papers and present a list of 20 tasks and tasks that are recommended by several researchers to be considered during the transformation. On the basis of these results, we create an agile transformation model—the so‐called “agile hamburger”—that contains these tasks and preserves software product lines. Since the model is rather coarse grained and generic, we also support the adaption to different teams by presenting an assessment model tailored to the demands of the automotive domain.

“…Many approaches for user integration and input are applied in the early conceptual stages, and some are applied in the deployment stages and sales (see Van Kleef et al, 2005), while fewer techniques are available in the stages during development once a product has been launched. Particularly in the software industry, the user has been viewed as an active cocreator in, for example, agile software development (Boehm and Turner, 2004;Bosch and Bosch-Sijtsema, 2011), or the user supports innovation through data through optimization USER INVOLVEMENT IN INNOVATION PROCESS J PROD INNOV MANAG 803 2015;32(5):793-807 experiments after product deployment (Agarwal et al, 2008;Davenport, 2009;Eisenberg and Quarto-vonTivadar, 2008;Kohavi et al, 2009). However, few perceive the user as contributing with input throughout the whole innovation cycle.…”

The feedback and input of users have been an important part of product innovation in recent years. User input has been studied from different approaches and is applied through different methods in particular phases of the innovation process. However, these methods are not integrated into the whole innovation process and are used only in particular phases or on an ad hoc basis. New developments in technology, social media, and new ways of working closer with customers have opened up new possibilities for firms to gain user input throughout the whole innovation process. However, the impact that these new developments in technology offer for user input innovation in high‐tech firms is unclear. Therefore, we study how high‐tech firms collect and apply user feedback throughout the whole innovation process. The paper is based on a comparative case study of eight cases in the high‐tech industry, in which qualitative data collection was applied. The key contribution of the paper is a conceptual framework on user data‐driven innovation throughout the innovation cycle. This framework gives insight into user involvement types and approaches to collect and apply user feedback throughout the innovation process.

Business process management (BPM) is a strategic advantage for all kinds of organizations, including information technology companies (ITCs), which cannot stay out of the BPM approach. ITCs manage business processes like projects to create and maintain software. Although Project Management Systems (PMSs), such as Microsoft™ Project Server® (MPS®), are considered as non-process-aware information systems (Non-PAISs), they may be a source to generate processes. In this paper, we propose a reverse engineering approach, which uses patterns to transform software projects stored in MPS® legacy databases into software business processes. For this, we base on the model-driven engineering paradigm and deal with the time perspective of the processes. This kind of experiences are scarce or almost nonexistent, so we show the AQUA-WS project case study, which runs with MPS® as source system and software process modeling languages as target systems. ITCs can benefit from this research by gathering knowledge about perspectives of their processes that would otherwise be wasted, such as executed projects or expired documents used in Non-PAISs. This fact can become a key factor for ITCs, which can increase their competitiveness and reduce software costs, as part of the BPM lifecycle of continuous improvement.
