Description
Summary:Within the TALIA project representatives of DO-297 stakeholders work on the next generation of IMA tools and processes. This shall be a "Digital Work Environment" for IMA development, boosting efficiency and satisfaction of the stakeholders. In order to derive the optimal digital work environment, we elaborated personal user stories. We asked representatives of system integrator, platform and module supplier, and application supplier for their insights on activities, collaboration, interfaces and tools in a structured questionnaire. In this article, we present the compiled anonymous user stories from the ego perspective. We focused especially on the personal, unconventional, real-life and technical information usually not part of process definitions. Each user story elaborates an "optimal work environment" from the respective perspective. Obviously, the perspectives are not coincident. Inevitable tasks for one party are mentioned as unnecessary burden by others. However, the stories reveal common topics for improvement, e.g. the tracing of change effects, uniform digital interfaces and more automation. Moreover, they show that the IT requirements, organization culture and local tool set are very heterogeneous. We merge the desires of the individual user stories into a common Utopia of the "Optimal Digital Work Environment" and derive technical requirements for a new process' tool framework. Many desires can be fulfilled by a web and model-based collaboration framework, but customization of models, automation and interfaces are required. In addition, offline working and local tool integration, intellectual property protection, precise access control, and information tracking are identified as technical prerequisites.
