Özet

Systems design and integration are two phases of the system lifecycle that inherit a high degree of dependency from the interaction required from the organizations that need to come together to perform them. Current scaled agile frameworks assume the organizational structure to be a unified entity that delivers a system in form of a single output. In reality, a system is not a single output up to the moment it becomes operational. Until then it is an evolving aggregate and so are the organizations that jointly deliver it. In this paper, we demonstrate that this aggregate of organizations behaves as a System-of-Systems and that the current scaled agile frameworks are therefore not addressing the management of systems design and integration in an appropriate way. We propose a new coordination framework for managing systems design and integration - the DIARI Framework - that adapts to and scales with the complexity of the existing organizational structure.
