1	Agil testning i datalagringsprojekt Aller, Mikael, Karlsson, Robert January 2016 (has links) Testing in data warehousing has traditionally been done in large chunks at the end of development projects. This has often led to costly bug fixes because fixing bugs that are found late in the development process is generally a very time consuming task. In some cases, there is not enough time to fix these bugs because of narrow project deadlines. This can have major consequences for organizations because business decisions often relies on their data warehouse to provide accurate statistics and data. This study examines a department of a major Swedish agency that recently adopted agile methods to overcome some of the shortcomings associated with traditional data warehouse development. The effects of agile methods on data warehouse testing are examined, as well as the challenges that are needed to overcome for them to be successful. We also touch upon consequences of poor test design and what implications incorrect data that are delivered from a data warehouse can have both internally and externally. In conclusion, the study have found that adopting agile methods have led to test activities being carried out more often, more efficiently and with better results than in the past. In addition, product owners have been continuously involved in the development process through frequent acceptance tests. For agile methods to be successful in data warehouse testing, we also concluded that they need the support of tools, system environments and attitudes both among developers and product owners. / Nej Data warehouse datalager Business intelligence test agilt arbete
2	Innovation av affärsmodeller hos agila organisationer : En studie om hur agilt arbetssätt kan främja innovation av affärsmodeller Arnestrand, Felix January 2022 (has links) För att hålla företag relevanta och lukrativa under många år är det viktigt att ha strategier för att ständigt utvecklas och vara uppmärksam på marknadsförändringar och sin omgivning. Ett sätt att arbeta aktivt med att förbli relevant som företag är att driva innovation av produkter, men ännu viktigare, innovationav företagets affärsmodell. Det finns mycket forskning som berör innovation av affärsmodeller, men vilka faktorer som främjar innovation av affärsmodeller är mer outforskat. Det visar sig i tidigare forskning att företagsstruktur kan vara av vikt, och mer specifikt en företagsstruktur som främjar många snabba test, direkt kommunikation med kunder och en bra kommunikation inom företaget. Dessa tankesätt kännetecknar också agilt arbetssätt. Agilt arbetssätt har blivit allt vanligare, speciellt inom teknikbranschen. Det är också tydligt att det agila arbetssättet främjar snabba tester och kunskapssökning vid företagets gränser. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om, och i så fall hur agilt arbetssätt möjliggör innovation av affärsmodeller. Undersökningen grundar sig i empiriskt material från ett fallföretag; Graphmatech. Materialet analyserades med hjälp av teori som satts ihop till en analytisk modell. Teorierna som utgjorde störst del av analysen var de tre lagarna om agilt och fyra regler om agilt agerande för innovation av affärsmodeller. En slutsats som dras efter analysen är att fallföretaget som undersökts i detta fall har främjat innovation av deras affärsmodell tack vare det agila arbetssätt de haft. Slutsatsen visar också på att det krävs vidare forskning för att få en djupare förståelse för hur agilt arbetssätt är kopplat till innovation av affärsmodeller.

3	Stressprevention & Agil transformation : Prevention av organisatoriska rotorsaker till stress genom införandet av det Agila arbetssättet inom en högteknologisk multinationell svensk koncern Fritz, Minanda January 2018 (has links) Background: The Swedish Royal School of Technology (KTH) was hired to conduct a pilot study project on stress prevention, "Stress Prevention Project" in a Swedish high-tech global manufacturing company with headquarters in Sweden. The aim was to identify the root causes of stress among employees at the organizational level and to offer a way to prevent the root causes. The initiative to implement the project came from the HR department in the company. The occupational health department had not been able to lower the costs of sickness and rehabilitation. One of nine divisions was included in this evaluation study. The project was carried out during the years of 2012-2014, and three quantitative stress measurements were carried out using the modern working environment form “Modern Work Life” based of knowledge from KTH and designed by Metodicum. The present study has evaluated the root causes of the division's stress. In the division, it was stated that the risk areas that the division had to work with were: resources, demands, control, support but also leadership and reorganization with implementing the Agile methods (autonomous work) in the form of. The aim was to improve the psychosocial occupational health and to make the production work more efficient. Aim: The aim was to evaluate the effect of stress preventive measures in one of the nine divisions (that were included in the overall project) and the effect of implementing the Agile methods (autonomous work) in the organization. Limitations: The evaluation is restricted to one of the nine divisions. Method: The method is a quantitative and qualitative case study, with a narrative approach. The study includes a division with 200 employees of which data was collected from 18 of these employees in two focus groups interviews. Materials have also been collected from interviews with the division's HR director, section leader, head of unit and head of the organization's business health. The evaluation is based on qualitative data, which were obtained through 3 single interviews and 4 focus group interviews and participant observation. Quantitative data were obtained through three different measurements (between 2012-14). The quantitative data were compared and analyzed with the qualitative data in order to understand the results up to the final measurement 3 (2014). Results: The evaluation of the stress prevention – where the focus was to prevent risk areas including demands, develop resources, control, support and also leadership – showed that introducing and using the Agile working principles had had a significant positive effect on all the risk areas. Additionally, this change in the organization contributed to positive results regarding the efficiency of the production process; a reduction of working hours from 12 months to 2 weeks of action at the same result. The absence due to illness and rehabilitation has been decreasing from 4 % to 0,5-1% right after introducing the Agile methods in the division. However, the results also showed no improvement regarding some other working environment; as conflicts and bullying persisted. This may be due to how the reorganization of the groups was done. It should be clarified that the outcomes may be influenced by the extensive reorganization that took place in connection with the stress prevention project and the introduction of the agile approach. Conclusions - The stress prevention could not have been done efficiently due to other on-going reorganizations in the company and the staff has not been able to follow the recommendation for efficient stress-prevention due to lack of support from the headquarter. That created a crisis in the stress prevention-project group. The agile methods seem to have had a significant good result in all risk areas as resources, demands, control, support and also leadership and the absence has decreased from 4 to 0,5 %. Due to the agile methods have the productions process been shorter from 12 months to 2 weeks. agile methods ergonomics organizational development organisational development agile organizational stress stress prevention scrum autonomous groups democratization leadership systematic work environment systematic psychosocial work environment efficiency efficient production processes stressprevention Företagshälsovård KBT rehabilitering stressbehandling stressforskning ledningsgrupp IT-konsult systemutveckling syfte och värderingar företagskultur organisationskultur primär stressprevention stressprevention KANBAN agil agilt agilt arbete agil transformation organisationsutveckling konsultativt ledarskap LEAN KAIZEN effektivitet agilt ledarskap coachande ledarskap hållbart ledarskap ergonomi organisatorisk stress agila arbetsmetoder skrum självstyrande grupper demokratisering ledarskap effektivitet effektiva produktionsprocesser scrum
