EDOS: Effective Digitalization of Public Sector
EDOS conducts surveys and analyzes information on digitalization in the public sector. The research center will contribute to new knowledge on effective digitalization of the public sector, input on how to improve processes and methods for the development of digital solutions, as well as research-based assistance to the Ministry of Local Government and Modernization and other parts of the public sector.
Key focus areas of the research center:
- Benefits management in the development of IT systems and in digital transformations
- Flexible work processes and flexible organization of software development
- Management and leadership of projects and product development
- Competence evaluation and resource management
- Cooperation and forms of agreement between actors
The center is funded by the Ministry of Local Government and Modernization and was created in 2020.
More information about the center is found on their website.

Leveraging Network-Centric Strategic Goals in Capabilities

Leveraging Network-Centric Strategic Goals in Capabilities
The vision of network-centric operations is to increase operational capabilities through networked collaboration. NATO and its member nations state this vision in strategic documents at a very high level of abstraction. While suitable for giving an overall feel, current documentation renders the steps toward implementing those visions largely unsupported. We outline a method, based on agile requirements engineering, for converting high-level strategic visions into capabilities, whose form lend themselves to incremental implementation. We illustrate the use of this method in two cases that concern both operational capabilities and technical capabilities. We also show how the method enables one to prioritize which capabilities to develop first. We conclude that some form of explicit methodology to span the gap between strategic visions and implementing those visions is necessary.

Risks and risk mitigation in global software development: an update
Journal of Software: Evolution and Process (2021).Status: Accepted
Risks and risk mitigation in global software development: an update
Context: Interest in global software development (GSD) has led to the publication of numerous studies. Over time, these studies should be updated to verify if their findings and conclusions remain valid.
Objective: To update a tertiary study, published in 2014, focused on investigating risks and risk mitigation advice in the context of GSD.
Method: We conducted a systematic literature study based on forward snowballing, out of which we identified and selected 25 unique studies.
Results: We extracted: a) 122 risks (75 of which already identified in the original work), and b) 123 mitigation advice (44 of which were identified in the original work). The evidence supporting these risks and mitigation were extracted from 619 and 389 primary sources, respectively. Given the amount of evidence found, we have reported only those with higher empirical support. The raw data, including all the values obtained, are available online as complementary material.
Conclusions: Interest in GSD, its potential risks, and possible mitigation strategies, remains high. This update has allowed increasing the level of empirical support provided by the findings of the original work.
