Sadržaj predavanja:

Development of large complex systems is something that is not only vital for a telecom firm like Ericsson. In several other industries this is equally important. Among the challenges often referred to are mastering new technologies, new methods and tools and correctly forecasting the cost and lead time of each undertaking to be able to deliver in accordance with promises made to customers. Several procedures for risk analysis are used and they help in dealing with the risks we encounter when dealing with the unknown such as developing new systems or features. Largely all these areas deal with the development work as if it was being carried out by machines and not by human beings.

Based on a long experience from turning around crisis development projects I will discuss some challenges that deal more with the human aspects of development work. That contains both what risks are caused by the fact that humans do all the work and what opportunities that means. Still I do not call these aspects the soft side of system development. These are the really hard aspects. I will present a few approaches we have been using to succeed when in trouble and to avoid ending up in trouble.
